Two New Ways We’re Expanding Patient Support
At Diabetic Supplies Inc., our goal is to make it easier for patients and caregivers to access the products they need with knowledgeable support along the way. We are excited to expand our product offerings with two important additions: Enteral Nutrition and Nutritional Formulas and the Instinct Sensor, made by Abbott.
These additions allow us to support more patients with different healthcare needs while continuing to provide insurance verification, documentation assistance, and convenient home delivery.
Enteral Nutrition and Nutritional Formulas
Enteral nutrition formulas are specialized liquid nutrition products that provide calories, protein, vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. They may be used through a feeding tube or taken orally as a nutritional supplement when a person cannot meet their nutritional needs through regular meals alone.
These products may be recommended for people experiencing serious illness, recovery after surgery, gastrointestinal conditions, cancer, renal or pulmonary conditions, pediatric nutritional needs, or other situations in which additional nutrition support is necessary. The appropriate formula and method of use should always be determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.
Options for Different Nutritional Needs
Diabetic Supplies Inc. offers access to a range of enteral nutrition options from leading manufacturers, including Abbott Nutrition, Nestlé Health Science, and Danone Nutricia. Product availability may include:
- Standard formulas for general nutrition support
- Fiber-containing and fiber-free formulas
- High-calorie and high-protein formulas
- Peptide-based formulas for patients with impaired gastrointestinal function or malabsorption
- Formulas designed for diabetes, renal, pulmonary, wound-healing, or other specialized nutritional needs
- Pediatric formulas and oral nutritional supplements
Because every patient’s nutritional needs are different, a healthcare provider should select the appropriate formula, serving amount, and feeding schedule.
The Instinct Sensor Made by Abbott
We are also pleased to offer the Instinct Sensor, made by Abbott for use with the MiniMed 780G system. This continuous glucose monitoring sensor provides real-time glucose readings that the integrated system can use to support automated insulin delivery adjustments.
Key Instinct Sensor Features
| Feature | What It Means |
| Up to 15 days of wear | Fewer sensor changes may make ongoing glucose monitoring more convenient. |
| One-hour warmup | The shorter warmup period helps users begin receiving sensor glucose readings sooner. |
| Small and discreet design | The all-in-one sensor is designed for comfortable, discreet wear. |
| Real-time glucose readings | When paired with the MiniMed 780G system, sensor readings support automated insulin adjustments. |
| Simple insertion | The sensor is designed for one-handed insertion and does not require overtape under normal use. |
The Instinct Sensor is a prescription device and must be used with a compatible system as directed by a healthcare professional. Eligibility, coverage, and supply requirements vary by insurance plan.
