Read our Type 2 Diabetes research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The DROP Study is testing a 12-week online nutrition education program based on a low-fat, plant-based (vegan) diet for people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers want to see if this dietary approach can help reverse diabetes and improve blood sugar levels, weight, and cholesterol. The goal is to show that this plant-based program is practical and effective for doctors and patients to use in real-world medical settings.
Type 2 diabetes is a common condition, and many people struggle to manage it with medications alone. This study exists to test whether changing to a plant-based diet—without adding new medications—can actually reverse or significantly improve diabetes, potentially offering patients a natural way to regain control of their health.

As a participant, you would join an online program for 12 weeks where you'll learn about plant-based nutrition and receive support to follow a low-fat vegan diet. During this time, researchers will measure your blood sugar control, body weight, and cholesterol levels at the beginning and end to see if the diet helps. The program is delivered online, so you can participate from home while working with the research team to track your progress.
