Study overview

About

This study examines whether prescribing and delivering culturally-modified meals is feasible and improves diet quality, food access, food security, and glucose levels of Asian Indians and Filipinos with Type-2 Diabetes.

Researchers will track adherence and glucose response to better understand how culturally tailored meals can support glycemic control.
