Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This clinical trial evaluates the impact of culturally tailored, American Diabetes Association (ADA)-compliant meals on the glycemic control of Asian Indian and Filipino individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). This study leverages a crossover design to compare glycemic responses during two distinct dietary phases: a self-selected diet phase (baseline/control/routine diet) and an intervention phase featuring NOURISH meals. NOURISH Meals will be delivered to designated pick-up points on the Stanford campus and Stanford clinics. Participants will be equipped with Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) to track glucose trends across the study and will be required to keep a food log through Tastermonial, enabling detailed analysis of postprandial glucose responses and key metrics.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Self Selected Diet to NOURISH Diet

Participants in this arm will be consuming self-selected meals (baseline/control) first (During Week 2 of the intervention), followed by the NOURISH diet in the next week (Week 3). Participants will be required to fill out a food diary and questionnaires using the Tastermonital app.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

NOURISH Diet

Intervention Type OTHER

NOURISH meals will be prepared by NOURISH chefs for seven days. Both South Asian and Filipino meal plans will be prepared, vegetarian, vegan and non-vegetarian options available for all. Participants will pick-up NOURISH meals at a Stanford facility and consume three meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and two snacks over one week. There will be no caloric restriction, the calories in each meal will be informed by the average intake for the participants gender and BMI.

Self-Selected Diet (Control)

Intervention Type OTHER

The participants will eat their routine meals without any involvement of the investigators. Participants will be required to wear the CGM during this time and keep a detailed food log through Tastermonial.
