What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: lifestyle intervention (nutrition education, behavioral skills training, physical activity)
What this could lead to: If successful, this program could offer an effective way to prevent type 2 diabetes in high-risk Latino families.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively small study (132 participants) and results may not apply to all Latino families. The intervention requires active participation, which may be hard to sustain long-term.
