Summary

This study tested a fiber-enriched, low-sodium liquid formula as the sole nutrition for 32 tube-fed nursing home residents with diabetes. Over three months, researchers measured changes in blood sugar, blood pressure, and nutritional status. The goal was to see if this special formula could improve diabetes control and blood pressure in this vulnerable group.
