Plain-language summary

This study is designed to test whether non-persistent environmental chemicals (PECs) are elevated in people with glucose dysregulation. The primary aim is to measure whether this toxicant burden can be reduced using a dietary and lifestyle modification intervention. The secondary aim is to observe any changes in glucose response pre and post-intervention.
