Randomized Controlled Trial
Tube feeding with a diabetes-specific feed for 12 weeks improves glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes patients.
Assess longer-term (12 weeks) effects of a diabetes-specific feed on postprandial glucose response, glycaemic control (HbA1c), lipid profile, (pre)-albumin, clinical course and tolerance in diabetic patients. ⋯ The diabetes-specific feed studied significantly improved longer-term glycaemic control in diabetic patients. This was achieved in addition to on-going anti-diabetic medication and may affect clinical outcome.
