Whole Food for Families: Preventing Type 2 Diabetes
This study, called "Whole Food for Families," is testing a diet plan to help prevent type 2 diabetes in adults with prediabetes. It encourages eating a variety of whole foods like fruits, vegetables, proteins, and whole grains. Researchers want to see if this diet is easy for families to follow and if adults with prediabetes show improvements in their HbA1c (a measure of blood sugar over time) after 12 weeks. You might be able to join if you are an adult aged 25-59 with prediabetes, have a body mass index (BMI) between 23 and under 40, and are a parent to a child aged 6-18 years.
- Study design
- This is a pilot randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to different groups. It plans to enroll 30 participants.
- What's involved
- Families will follow the whole foods diet for 12 weeks, with a partial feeding period during weeks 3-8. You will also complete surveys and potentially focus groups.
- Compensation

What this trial measures
- Feasibility and acceptability12 weeks
Feasibility will be based on ≥80% participant retention and completion of outcome measures (e.g., HbA1c testing, anthropometry, surveys, diet checklists/recalls). Diet acceptability will be based on ≥75% adult diet satisfaction via survey report (using the acceptability measure).
