Since you have
diabetes requiring insulin and chronic pancreatitis requiring pancreatic enzyme replacement, choosing a protein supplement should be individualized. The ideal supplement should be high in protein, low in added sugars, easy to digest, and taken along with your prescribed pancreatic enzymes to improve absorption.
In most cases, a whey protein isolate (low in lactose and carbohydrates) or a high-quality plant protein blend (such as pea and rice protein) can be suitable options, depending on your tolerance.
If maintaining blood
sugar is a challenge, choose a diabetes-friendly protein supplement with no added sugar.
Since your goal is healthy weight gain, focus on increasing overall calorie and protein intake through nutrient-dense foods as well, such as eggs, fish, chicken, Greek yogurt (if tolerated), tofu, nut butters, healthy oils, and whole grains. Rather than relying solely on supplements, a personalized meal plan will provide the best results.
