For someone who is prediabetic, using a diabetic care protein powder once or twice a day is generally safe, provided blood sugar levels are monitored. These powders are designed with slow-release carbohydrates and added fiber to avoid sugar spikes. Mixing one or two tablespoons with milk can be fine, though using skimmed or toned milk is better to keep calories and fat lower.
The main point is to see that the powder has less than 10 grams of carbs per serving and no added sugar. If weight is on the higher side, it may be better to take it with water instead of milk.
You can continue with a balanced diet, daily walk, and regular blood sugar checks. For a detailed review and safe plan, I can assess your case here on Practo.
