Effect of Diabetes-Specific Nutrition Formula on the Metabolic Parameters of Filipino Adults with Metabolic Syndrome

The diabetes-specific nutrition formula to be used in this study will be Glucerna (Abbott Laboratories). It features an advanced blend of low-glycemic carbohydrates for steady energy release, a dual fiber blend to support digestive health, and a unique lipid blend free from trans fats, cholesterol, and low in saturated fat. Additionally, Glucerna is enriched with 4x more inositol and high levels of trivalent chromium, which contribute to maintaining normal blood glucose levels. It provides 28 essential vitamins and minerals, is low in lactose, and gluten-free, making it a suitable option for various dietary needs. 5 scoops will be mixed in 200 mL of water, and this amounts to 228 calories, with 30.01g of carbohydrates, 10.16g of protein, and 8.70g of fat. This will be given twice, as a breakfast replacement and an afternoon snack replacement.
