Project Dulce Arabic is a pilot study designed to help Arab Americans with type 2 diabetes manage their condition through a peer-led education program taught in Arabic, combined with text message support. The program focuses on teaching diabetes self-management skills and healthy behaviors over 5 weeks. The study will also collect genetic information to help researchers better understand why type 2 diabetes affects Arab Americans at higher rates.
Arab Americans have higher rates of type 2 diabetes compared to other groups, but there are very few diabetes education resources available in Arabic or tailored to Arab American culture. This study exists to fill that gap by creating culturally appropriate education and learning more about the genetic factors that may put Arab Americans at higher risk.

You likely don't qualify if…
You would attend a 5-week peer-led education program held in Arabic, where you'll learn about diabetes management and healthy behaviors alongside other Arab Americans with type 2 diabetes. Throughout the study, you'll receive text messages with reminders and support. You'll have your blood sugar checked at the start and again at 3 months and 6 months to see if the program is helping. You may also be asked to provide a blood sample for genetic research to help scientists understand type 2 diabetes in Arab Americans better.
