The answer is YES! 

The biggest reason for this is because - INSULIN is a PROTEIN in nature. 😳
Type-2 diabetes is either caused by reduced insulin production(➖) or insulin resistance(✖️). In case of the first cause, including more lean protein in the diet can positively increase insulin secretion! 

Some other reasons why you should include more protein in your diet:-

•Protein rich foods like- low fat milk products,soy products,pulses, legumes, nuts, lean meat, fish & egg etc. are low GI foods. Meaning these don't raise your blood sugar levels abruptly. 
•Protein helps in muscle building which helps in weight management & fat loss. 
•Protein helps in boosting up your usually affected immunity. 
•Protein makes you stay full for longer & reduces sugar cravings. 
•Protein also helps in improving sleep & stress levels. 
And many more.... 

Now you know why you need to include atleast one source of ✅ low fat protein in each of your meals.
