Sir wish to know that I am already having whey protein 30 GM twice the day and doing heavy workout for bodybuilding. Now wish to take BCCA of food imported brand. It will be safe or not. My random diabetes is around 130-150 I am diabetic from last 9 years and on work out from last 4 month. Can I take BCCA also. If yes hope it will not resist insulin.

No need to take that only whey protein is enough and do the exercises what you are doing.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. You can take additional proteins plus BCAA also to build muscles. However, the supplement powder should be free from additional carbs and added sugars. Otherwise it is likely to increase blood glucose levels. Plus it is essential to achieve a strict glucose control with fasting < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. Then only you will find benefits in building muscles. Thanks.
