Osmolite Enteral Feeding in Diabetes

Osmolite (1.0 kcal/mL) is labeled as suitable for patients with diabetes, provided that routine glucose checks are performed.[1]

Continuous enteral or parenteral nutrition produces a continuous postprandial glucose state, so glucose-lowering strategies should be coordinated to avoid both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.[2]
