Feasibility of a Nutrition Intervention for Prediabetes

This study is testing a nutrition program for people with prediabetes at a community health center in Los Angeles. It's looking at whether adding hands-on nutrition demonstrations to the standard Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) helps people stick with the program and learn healthy eating habits. The study will enroll 20 participants who are 18 or older, have a BMI of 25 or higher (23 or higher if Asian), and meet specific blood sugar criteria for prediabetes. You cannot have type 1 or type 2 diabetes to join. The main goal is to see if this new approach helps people stay in the program for the full 12 months. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is a single-arm feasibility pilot study, meaning all 20 participants will receive the nutrition intervention. It is not specified if it is blinded.
What's involved
Participants will take part in a 7-week nutritional intervention. The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is a year-long program.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for retention at 12 months after the intervention.

What this trial measures

  • RetentionPost-Intervention (12-months as DPP is a year-long program)

    The primary outcome of this feasibility study will be retention in the DPP. Retention will be defined as participation in 9 of the 16 core DPP sessions during months 1 through 6 of the DPP. This measure will assess participant completion of the DPP. % retention will be measured at the end of the DPP.
