About this trial

The objective of this observational study is to characterize the patient profile and nutritional treatment patterns of individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) or drug-induced diabetes who present with malnutrition, or are at risk of it, and who are prescribed a diabetes-specific oral nutritional supplement (ONS) that is high in calories and protein and contains soluble fiber.

Participants will complete a series of questionnaires during visits 1 and 3.
