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

Plain-language summary
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).

Inclusion Criteria:
People with pre-diabetes, or those self-identifying as at-risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Risk for T2DM can be determined through indicators such as family history of T2DM, overweight or obesity, metabolic syndrome, HbA1c levels between 5.7% and 6.4%, or fasting blood glucose levels between 100 and 125 mg/dL. There is increased risk for T2DM among American Indian/Alaska Native, Black and Hispanic adults as compared with White and Asian adults; adults ages 25 and older with less than a high school education, as compared with those with higher education levels; and adults ages 25 and older with household incomes less than $25,000 as compared with those with higher income levels.
Exclusion Criteria:
People who have been diagnosed with T2DM or tested at an HbA1c% level that indicates T2DM. (\>6.4%) People who are non-English speaking (this is a feasibility/pilot study, if effective we will propose a fully-powered trial that we plan to translate into Spanish). The curriculum we are using has a Spanish version that we can make available if needed once a participant is enrolled. Additionally, the study coordinator is a student listed on this application who is fluent in Spanish and can help those with limited English capability to ensure participants understand the study and what is expected.
People who are unable to attend in-person cooking classes at the UNLV Nutrition Center for 6 weeks using their own means of transportation.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
