New study tracks how doctors treat malnutrition in diabetes patients
NCT ID NCT07252765
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study follows 334 adults with type 2 diabetes or drug-induced diabetes who are malnourished or at risk. Researchers will track their nutritional treatment patterns after being prescribed a special high-calorie, high-protein supplement with fiber. Participants fill out questionnaires at two visits over six months, and the study aims to describe patient profiles and changes in health measures.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- diabetes-specific oral nutritional supplement (high-calorie, high-protein, with soluble fiber)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors better understand how to manage malnutrition in people with type 2 diabetes, potentially improving care guidelines.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by other factors and may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) or drug-induced diabetes * Patients at nutritional risk according to MUST or presenting malnutrition according to GLIM criteria. * Patients requiring a diabetes-specific oral nutritional supplement (ONS) that is high-calorie, high-protein, and contains soluble fiber in real-world clinical practice, and who have been prescribed such a supplement within the previous 7 days. * Patients able to provide informed consent and complete the study questionnaires. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients participating in other studies or clinical trials related to malnutrition, or who, in the investigator's opinion, may alter the course of the study. * Patients currently receiving or expected to receive other types of nutritional interventions involving supplements (oral or otherwise) or non-conventional feeding methods (e.g., feeding tubes). * Patients with a history of metabolic/endocrine diseases (other than diabetes) or any other condition causing liver or kidney failure, defined as ALT \> 3x ULN or eGFR \< 30 ml/min/1.73 m², and according to the investigator's judgment. * Patients expected to undergo any surgical intervention or require hospitalization due to a condition unrelated to the study during the study period. * Patients with other conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, may interfere with adherence to the intervention or with study procedures.
