Brief Answer:
Diabetic diet
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
From the given history of cardiac problems and diabetes in the family. Here are my recommendations
1. Please do not take these supplements. Try to restrict yourself to natural proteins in the form of animal meat and vegetable proteins.
2. I do not recommend a high protein diet as it not only causes toxicity to the renal tubules but also causes increases atherosclerosis and uncontrolled sugars
3. Taking these medications can make your sugars out of control and also cause toxicity to the kidneys
4. Recommend protein is not more than 0.8/kg of protein per day
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
