Food Sequencing in Food Insecurity for Prediabetes and Diabetes

This study is looking at how a way of eating called "Food Order/Meal Sequencing" can help people with prediabetes or diabetes who also experience food insecurity. Food Order/Meal Sequencing means eating protein-rich foods and non-starchy vegetables before carbohydrates in a meal, which has been shown to lower blood sugar levels after eating. The study will compare this approach to standard dietary counseling. Researchers want to see if Food Order/Meal Sequencing improves blood sugar control (measured by "Time in Range" using a continuous glucose monitor) over 24 weeks. You may be able to join if you are an adult between 18 and 75 years old, have prediabetes or diabetes, and screen positive for food insecurity. The study plans to enroll 70 participants.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention. It plans to enroll 70 participants.
What's involved
The primary endpoint is measured at baseline and week 24, suggesting participation will last at least 24 weeks.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for at least 24 weeks, based on the primary endpoint timeframe.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Nonpregnant adults ages of 18 to 75 with prediabetes or diabetes mellitus who screen positive for food insecurity and provide informed consent.

Exclusion

Participants with gestational diabetes or pre-existing diabetes in pregnancy.
  • Change in the effect of meal sequencing on Time in Range (TIR) using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) between baseline and week 24.Baseline, Week 24

    Time in range is measured as the percentage of time a participant spends within the target blood glucose range of 70-180mg/dL for participants with diabetes mellitus and 63-140 mg/dL for participants with pre-diabetes. Change in time in range between baseline and week 24 blood glucose range will be assessed.
