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

Inclusion Criteria4

Self-identification as Asian Indian or Filipino
Diagnosed with T2DM
Can pick up meals from a designated area on the Stanford Campus
Willing to wear a CGM for 30 days

Exclusion Criteria3

Currently taking insulin, GLP -1 and SGLT 2
Known severe allergic reactions and/or food intolerances that would interfere with the ability to eat
Those who, in the opinion of the investigators, cannot reliably complete the study protocol.

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.
