DIABETISOURCE® AC — Smart Tube Nutrition for Diabetes & Glucose Control
When blood sugar balance matters, DIABETISOURCE® AC brings a thoughtful, therapeutic approach to tube feeding. Designed specifically for patients with diabetes or stress-induced hyperglycemia, this formula combines careful carbohydrate sources with beneficial nutrients to support metabolic and wound-healing needs.
Key Benefits & Features
- Unique carbohydrate blend: Uses pureed vegetables and fruits (peas, green beans, peaches, orange juice) instead of simple sugars or sugar alcohols, helping moderate glucose impact.
- High protein ratio (≈ 22% of calories): Supports lean body mass and recovery while still optimizing carbohydrate control.
- Rich in healthy fats & omega-3s: Meets ADA dietary recommendations for inclusion of fish oil–based omega-3s (EPA/DHA), beneficial in metabolic stress.
- Supplemental L-arginine: Added to support wound healing and tissue recovery in patients with comorbidities.
- Moderate caloric density (1.2 kcal/mL): Offers a balance between providing sufficient calories and managing glycemic load.
- Diet-friendly & allergen accommodations
- Lactose-free, gluten-free, and contains no milk protein — may be suitable for some with cow’s milk protein allergy
- No sugar alcohols included
How & When to Use
- Intended for tube feeding only, under medical supervision (not for IV use).
- Best suited for individuals dealing with diabetes, glucose intolerance, or stress-related hyperglycemia.
- Often part of specialized metabolic nutrition regimens where controlling post-feeding glucose spikes is essential.
- Monitor blood sugar and adjust insulin or glucose management plans accordingly when introducing.
