  • Random plasma glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/L or fasting plasma glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/L (finger-prick point-of-care \[POC\] testing)
  • HbA1c ≥ 6.5% (finger-prick POC testing)
  • Known inborn errors of amino acid and protein metabolism.
  • With planned/scheduled medical imaging procedure/s (magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\], computed tomography \[CT\] scan, X-ray), or electrical heat (diathermy) treatment during the study period.
  • Known or suspected allergies or intolerances to any of the ingredients of the nutritional formulation (i.e., milk, lactose) and the study meals.
  • Known or suspected cutaneous hypersensitivity to adhesives, silicon, or plaster.
  • Substantial changes in eating habits (i.e., switching from one dietary regimen to another) up to 30 days before enrolment.
  • Anticipated change in usual physical activity levels during the study period (e.g., plans for undertaking new vigorous-intensity physical activity such as: jogging, running, carrying heavy objects or other loads upstairs, shoveling snow, participating in a fitness class, and fast swimming, that will lead to hard and fast breathing).
