Diabetic enteral feeding formulas for blood sugar control and nutrition
Managing diabetes requires careful attention to nutrition, especially when oral intake is compromised. Diabetic enteral feeding formulas, also known as diabetes-specific nutrition formulas, are designed to provide balanced nutrition while aiding in blood glucose control. These formulas are suitable for individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who require tube feeding.
When selecting a diabetic enteral feeding formula, consider the following:
- Glycemic Control Needs: Opt for formulas with low-glycemic carbohydrates to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
- Caloric Requirements: Choose calorically dense formulas like Glucerna 1.5 Cal for patients with higher energy needs or fluid restrictions.
- Additional Health Considerations: For patients with wounds or pressure ulcers, formulas enriched with L-arginine, such as Diabetisource AC, may offer added benefits.
