Summary

IV nutrition is a means of providing all the nutritional requirements of people who have severe bowel disease. At least 10% of people on longer term IV nutrition also have diabetes and IV nutrition includes delivering glucose directly to large veins. Unsurprisingly this causes elevated blood glucose levels, particularly in people with diabetes. This can make treatment of hyperglycaemia more challenging. As a result this study aims to use a flash glucose monitoring device, the FreeStyle Libre pro, to investigate what happens to glucose levels in patients receiving IV nutrition. We will look at this trend in 5 patients with diabetes and 5 patients without diabetes receiving IV nutrition.
