Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals in Clark County at risk of or diagnosed with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Participants should be interested in nutrition education and willing to wear a glucose monitor if assigned to the enhanced group. Specific eligibility details are not provided, but typically include being an adult and meeting certain health conditions.
What is being tested?
The study tests a standard Cooking Matters for Adults (CMA) curriculum against an enhanced version (CMA+) that includes additional diabetes-related information and the use of continuous glucose monitors. It measures how well these programs help participants eat more fruits and vegetables, manage blood sugar levels, reduce heart disease risk factors, and improve gut health over six weeks.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on nutrition education without medical interventions, side effects are minimal. However, wearing a continuous glucose monitor may cause skin irritation or discomfort for some participants.
