DROP Study: Online Plant-Based Program for Type 2 Diabetes

The DROP Study is an online program testing a 12-week plant-based diet for people with Type 2 Diabetes. This study aims to see if following a low-fat vegan diet can help reduce glycated hemoglobin (a measure of average blood sugar), body weight, and cholesterol levels. You might be able to join if you are an adult in the U.S. with a prior diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status, but plans to enroll 150 participants. Success in this study would mean showing that the online program is practical and effective in improving these health markers.
