1. Because it is not a Carb...they cause the blood sugar fluctuations, Protein on the other hand, keep you fuller for longer and dont disrupt the blood sugars, they keep the blood sugars on an even keel.

3. While carbohydrates raise blood sugar, fat & protein slows the rise of blood sugar. What this means is if you have a quicker sugar like raisins by itself, your blood sugar would spike up quickly and then fall back down. If you are hypoglycemic (low blood glucose) you want to keep your blood sugars up and at an even level. Having a protein will help maintain an even blood sugar level over a period of time and keep you from dropping or spiking. A good, quick source of protein with a little fat works best for this. If you are hypoglycemic, you should keep something like almonds or peanuts around and should be eating every few hours. A small hand full will do the trick.
4. Because it is energy that makes good sugar to raise you blood sugar and keep it there unlike just plain sugar because it gives you a quick burst but then it drops again.
