Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The overall aim of this study was to assess the effects of nutritional supplementation and education on the healing of foot ulcers in diabetic patients. The hypothesis was that improving dietary intake can promote wound healing by improving nutritional status, blood flow, and decreasing inflammatory biomarkers while increasing anti-inflammatory factors.

Intervention

patients received nutrition education and nutritional supplements

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

glucose control nutritional shake, nutrition education

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Participants in the treatment group were educated about improving their diet by consuming more low-fat high-quality protein sources, vegetables, complex carbohydrates and less simple carbohydrates. They were also instructed to consume two servings (474 ml) of a commercially produced Glucose Control Nutritional Shake between meals throughout the day for 12 weeks or until complete healing. The supplements provided a total of 500 kilocalories, 28 grams of high-quality protein and essential vitamins and minerals.

Control
