Meals for Me: Diabetes Management Study
This study, called "Meals for Me," is looking at how different ways of delivering medically tailored meals (meals designed for specific health needs) can help older adults with type 2 diabetes. You would receive special meals and educational materials about healthy eating. Researchers want to see if these meals improve diabetes control (measured by A1C levels), mental health, and other health outcomes. To join, you must be 55-90 years old, live in Austin, have an A1C of 7.5% or higher, and have a freezer and microwave. The study is comparing three different meal delivery methods to usual care.
- Study design
- This is a randomized study with three groups, meaning you would be randomly assigned to one of the meal delivery groups or a waitlist group. About 320 people are expected to participate.
- What's involved
- You would receive meals and educational materials for 6 months. You would also have your Hemoglobin A1C (a measure of blood sugar control) checked at the beginning and after 6 months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your diabetes control will be measured at the beginning of the study and again after 6 months.
