Culinary Medicine vs. Nutrition Education in Diabetes

Participants randomized to the Culinary Medicine intervention will complete a series of 6 virtual culinary medicine cooking classes (1 class per month for 6 months). Virtual sessions will be delivered via Zoom using a combination of large group instruction and small group break-out sessions in which participants prepare a recipe in their home kitchen with the virtual assistance from trained group facilitators. After preparing the dish, participants will enjoy the dish they prepared and report-back to the large group about their dish and experience. Classes will be conducted in English and Spanish with language-concordant instructors and facilitators.

Participants randomized to standard of care nutrition visits will complete a series of 6 nutrition visits (1 session per month for 6 months) led by bilingual (English/Spanish) dieticians. Sessions will consist of a mix of individual and small group sessions per standard of care in the clinic.
