Primary and Secondary Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Clark County

Description

This pilot and feasibility study aims to assess the effectiveness of a nutrition education intervention using the Cooking Matters for Adults Curriculum (SNAP-Ed). The study compares this standard curriculum with an enhanced version that includes the same curriculum but has additional components, incorporating specific information related to type 2 diabetes. Additionally, participants in the enhanced group will receive continuous glucose monitors to wear during the study for 10 days. The primary outcomes of the study include evaluating the acceptability of the intervention, and the feasibility of conducting the intervention at the UNLV Nutrition Center. The investigators will also assess participants' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Intentions regarding produce consumption. Alongside feasibility and acceptability, the study aims to explore the preliminary effectiveness of the intervention in increasing fruit and vegetable consumption, reducing HbA1c, managing cardiometabolic risk, and improving gut microbiome composition and diversity among participants in the program. The investigators will also assess changes in other lifestyle behaviors from baseline to post-intervention (6 weeks) (sleep, stress, physical activity, and sedentary behavior).
