Nutrison Diason Energy HP

A unique tube feed specifically designed for patients with hyperglycaemia

Inpatients are at risk of poor glycaemic control1,2. 

Nutritional support strategies for patients with hyperglycaemia

Enteral tube feeds have been found to produce a more rapid rise in blood glucose levels than a nutritionally equivalent solid meal.

Controlling blood glucose levels may improve patient outcomes - patient safety and cost4,5

Causes of hyperglycaemia

The underlying cause of hyperglycaemia is usually loss of insulin producing cells in the pancreas or development of resistance to insulin

Contributing factors of hyperglycaemia

  1. Missing a dose of diabetic medication, tablets or insulin5
  2. New medication or change in medication, e.g. steroids5
  3. Overfeeding6
  4. Stress - physical (e.g. an injury or surgery), mental or emotional
  5. Infection of illness7

Managing tube fed patients with hyperglycaemia

Multidisciplinary team approach

Goals of dietetic intervention:

  • Prioritise meeting the patient's nutritional requirements
  • Monitor carbohydrate intake
  • Communicate with the multidisciplary team
  • Switch feeding method - bolus vs continuous
  • Trying a slower feeding rate
  • Try a high protein or high fibre tube feed

This study aimed to develop a systematic review and meta-analysis of the studies published comparing the metabolic and health benefits of a diabetes specific formula (DSF) high in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and standard formulas (STDF) in adult patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) or hyperglycaemia.
