| خلاصه مقاله | Introduction: Proper nutritional support plays a vital role in improving the clinical outcomes of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). This study aimed to design specific formulas for diabetic patients who need enteral nutritional support admitted to the ICU.
Methods: We considered the specific type and amount of macronutrients; the required analyses were carried out to ascertain the proper proportion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Subsequently, vitamins, minerals, and specific compounds were added based on the diabetes patient's demands, and relevant analyses were conducted. A formulation with an average daily intake of 2000 cc was used to meet the patient's requirement.
Results: Energy in this new formulation was in the range of 103–112 kcal/100 ml. Due to the implementation of HACCP, monitoring the production line, and performance of corrective measures, no microbial contamination was observed by indicator pathogenic microorganisms.
Conclusion: After consulting with the pharmaceutics professors, a formulation for diabetics was created. Step two will involve performing the new formulation on critically ill ICU patients as a randomized control trial.
