Summary

The investigators plan to test two different strategies for weight loss and diabetes prevention in the Latino community in and around Forsyth County, North Carolina. The study is designed to test the hypothesis that a lifestyle weight-loss program implemented within the Latino community will have a more beneficial and clinically meaningful impact on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), insulin metabolism, and markers of the metabolic syndrome when compared to an enhanced usual care condition. This lifestyle intervention will include group-based sessions promoting healthy eating, increased physical activity and weight loss. These sessions will be delivered by lay community members, known as Latino Health Advisors (LHAs). The enhanced usual care group will consist of individual counseling with are registered dietitian and uses existing community resources to assist participants in making healthier lifestyle choices.
