About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether meals tailored to a person's culture and based on American Diabetes Association guidelines improve blood sugar control. It is for Asian Indian or Filipino people with type 2 diabetes. Participants wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), a device that tracks blood sugar, for 30 days to compare their usual diet with the study meals.

The investigators are hoping to determine whether tailoring the diet of someone with type 2 diabetes to their ethnic group while following American Diabetes Association guidelines can make a significant difference in their blood sugar controls. Participants will be required to wear a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) for 1-month so that the investigators can compare blood sugar levels when participants are eating their routine diet vs. the culturally tailored diabetes diet.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
