Read our Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study tests a new approach to help people with HIV who also have type 2 diabetes or are at risk for it. You would receive medically tailored meals delivered to your home each week — meals designed by a nutritionist specifically for your health needs. The study compares two groups: one group gets meals alone, and the other gets meals plus a 20-session coaching program delivered by phone to help you make lasting lifestyle changes around food, exercise, and diabetes management.
People with HIV are much more likely to develop diabetes and struggle with food insecurity (not having enough healthy food to eat), which makes their diabetes harder to control and increases their risk of serious complications. Current meal delivery programs for people with HIV haven't been updated to address these modern health challenges, so researchers want to test whether adding intensive lifestyle coaching to meal delivery can lead to better results.
You would receive freshly prepared meals delivered to your home once a week, tailored to your specific health needs by a registered dietitian. Depending on which group you're assigned to, you'll either have an initial consultation with the dietitian, or you'll also participate in 20 telephone coaching sessions over several months focused on building skills to manage your weight, control your blood sugar, and maintain healthy eating habits. Throughout the study, you'll have blood tests and answer questions about your health, food security, and quality of life.
