This study is testing a nutrition program called the Medically Intensive Nutritional Therapy (MINT) program at Massachusetts General Hospital. The program provides a structured, low-calorie eating plan designed to help people with obesity, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes lose weight and better control their blood sugar. Researchers want to see if this approach works particularly well for people with lower incomes and to understand why some people might stop using the program.
Many people struggle to lose weight and control blood sugar on their own, even when they know what to eat. This study exists to find out whether a medically supervised, structured eating plan can help—especially for people facing financial barriers to healthcare and nutrition support.
