Summary

This pragmatic trial compares the effectiveness of virtual culinary medicine classes vs. standard of care medical nutrition visits to improve glycemic control in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes . Culinary medicine teaches healthy eating principles through a combination of experiential cooking classes and focused didactic sessions. The primary study outcome is glycemic improvement (A1c). Qualitative evaluation will assess participant experience, impact, and durability of behavior changes related to nutrition. A short term cost analysis will be conducted to inform program costs and cost effectiveness.

Conditions

  • Primary Disease: 1. Type 2 Diabetes

Interventions

OTHER

Culinary Medicine Intervention

Participants randomized to the Culinary Medicine intervention will complete a series of 6 virtual culinary medicine cooking classes (1 class per month for 6 months). Virtual sessions will be delivered via Zoom using a combination of large group instruction and small group break-out sessions in which participants prepare a recipe in their home kitchen with the virtual assistance from trained group facilitators. After preparing the dish, participants will enjoy the dish they prepared and report-back to the large group about their dish and experience. Classes will be conducted in English and Spanish with language-concordant instructors and facilitators.

OTHER

Standard of Care Nutrition Visits

Participants randomized to standard of care nutrition visits will complete a series of 6 nutrition visits (1 session per month for 6 months) led by bilingual (English/Spanish) dieticians. Sessions will consist of a mix of individual and small group sessions per standard of care in the clinic.
