Interventions

  • NOURISH Diet — 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) — 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.

Study Details

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.

Arms

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

Primary Outcome Measure

Change in Positive Area Under the Curve (pAUC) for Blood Glucose [ Time Frame: During Week 2, Week 3 ]
