Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring to Quantify the Effects of NOURISH's Culturally Modified Meals on Asian Americans With Type 2 Diabetes

Validation of NOURISH Project's Culturally Tailored Meals on Postprandial Glycemic Response Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring: A Quantitative and Qualitative Study

Sponsor

Stanford University

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Jan 8, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)Type 2 Diabetes

Summary

The investigators are hoping to determine whether tailoring the diet of someone with type 2 diabetes to their ethnic group while following American Diabetes Association guidelines can make a significant difference in their blood sugar controls. Participants will be required to wear a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) for 1-month so that the investigators can compare blood sugar levels when participants are eating their routine diet vs. the culturally tailored diabetes diet.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study uses a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor worn on the skin) to measure blood sugar responses in Asian Indian and Filipino Americans with type 2 diabetes after eating culturally modified meals prepared as part of the NOURISH program at Stanford. **You may be eligible if...** - You identify as Asian Indian or Filipino - You have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes - You are able to pick up study meals from the Stanford University campus - You are willing to wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for 30 days **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You currently take insulin, GLP-1 receptor agonists (like Ozempic), or SGLT-2 inhibitors - You have severe food allergies or intolerances that would prevent you from eating the study meals - You are unable to reliably follow the study protocol according to the investigators' judgment Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

OTHERNOURISH Diet

NOURISH meals will be prepared by NOURISH chefs for seven days. Both South Asian and Filipino meal plans will be prepared, vegetarian, vegan and non-vegetarian options available for all. Participants will pick-up NOURISH meals at a Stanford facility and consume three meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and two snacks over one week. There will be no caloric restriction, the calories in each meal will be informed by the average intake for the participants gender and BMI.

OTHERSelf-Selected Diet (Control)

The participants will eat their routine meals without any involvement of the investigators. Participants will be required to wear the CGM during this time and keep a detailed food log through Tastermonial.
