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

United States120 participantsStarted 2024-10-01

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. People who are un…
