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 is testing whether a structured nutrition counseling program called Medical Nutrition Therapy can help people with type 2 diabetes improve their health and manage their weight. The program runs for 6 months and is designed specifically for people living in rural Kentucky, taking into account the unique challenges they face in accessing healthy food and health resources.
Type 2 diabetes and obesity are serious problems in rural Kentucky, where people often have less access to healthy food, exercise facilities, and health care than people in cities. This study wants to see if bringing nutrition counseling into rural communities through local extension agents can help break the cycle of diabetes and obesity that often runs through families.

You would work with a registered dietitian for 6 months to receive nutrition counseling and support tailored to your situation. The study staff will also assess your community's resources and talk with you about your family's eating and exercise habits. Most recruitment and support will happen through local Kentucky Extension offices and health clinics, making it easier for rural participants to take part.
