Dear doctor, this is somanath from bangalore. Today I received an add from Lybrate regarding to purchase of whey protein of nestle company. I am a diabetes type 2 since 5 years. I am taking an allopathic medicine metformin 1000 mg and galvus 50 mg in the morning and the same dose at the night. I am also consuming millet rice daily since 2 months. Now my sugar levels came under control when I check my glucose level in the morning, it shows within 100 and after taken food, after one and half hour, it shows 120 to 135. Now my problem is I cannot sit on the ground, when I do so, my buttock bones touches to the ground and it gives pain. This is happening since 3 months. I am having my esi card and taking my diabetes medicine from the esi hospital. When I said this problem today to the diabetologist, they referred to orthopaedics dept and the orthopaedic doctors given me a gel named nimesulide to apply on the buttock and given becosules syrup. Dear doctor, can I take the whey protein for my buttock pain problem, how long should I take this, now a days my hand, leg,face bones are visible, for this, I am very much disappointed, I hate my body myself. I am 57 years old now. Kindly suggest whether to buy whey protein and how to use it, whether to take with water or with milk. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details. Your glucose levels are really in very control. So there is really no reason to worry. Looking at your weight and height it is clear that with a BMI of just 15.9 kgs/sq meter, you are grossly under the weight. Hence the bones are bound to protrude and likely to be painful when you sit down. Your ideal body weight should be in the range of 56 to 60 kgs. Since you are too thin, this kind of problem is bound to be there. Please let me know whether earlier also you were underweight only? Or has this happened following the development of diabetes? Taking additional protein (like whey) should help in adding some muscle mass along with your normal food and some exercise. You should consult some dietitian to improve your over all health thanks.

Thank you for your query. What I diagnose from your write up is that you may be having reduced bone density which is common at your age. So I would like to advise you to take calcium supplement along with vitamin d3 and k2. For more details and advice you may have a personal consultation. Thank you.

Get your serum vit d test done and if found low (will be most probably) then take supplement for three months.
