Summary
This study tests a culturally tailored medical nutrition therapy for African patients with type 2 diabetes. The program includes personalized meal plans, nutrition counseling, and group education. Researchers will measure blood sugar levels and diet adherence after 6 months, and again at 12 months. The goal is to see if this approach works better than usual care for managing diabetes.
