Can I take protein shake
It's been a month since I joined a gym for weight loss. I am a diabetic, the trainer suggested that I take protein shake for weight loss along with regular exercise and a diet. Since I'm a diabetic can I take protein shake? Is there any side effects ? More importantly will it affect my Kidney?
