Summary

This study looks at whether a 9-week dietician-guided program, adapted from the National Diabetes Prevention Program, can reduce body fat and improve how the body uses insulin in people with chronic spinal cord injury. Twenty adults who use wheelchairs will participate in telehealth sessions with a dietitian. Researchers will measure body composition and insulin resistance before, right after, and 9 weeks after the program ends.
