Summary

This study looks at whether making dietary guidelines more culturally relevant can help African American adults eat healthier and lower their risk for type 2 diabetes. About 198 participants will be randomly assigned to one of three eating patterns: a standard healthy U.S. diet, a Mediterranean-style diet, or a vegetarian diet. Over one year, researchers will track changes in diet quality, body weight, and blood sugar levels.
