Overview
Brief Summary
A clinical study evaluating a three month digitally delivered lifestyle change program in adults with Type 2 Diabetes. The FareWell Program (the "Program") aims to reduce well-established biomarkers of cardiometabolic diseases, weight, and medications. The current study is designed to evaluate to what degree adults with Type 2 Diabetes engaged with the Program can improve glycemic control and/or decrease medication needs.
Detailed Description
The Program aims to reduce well-established biomarkers of cardiometabolic diseases, weight, and medications. It includes meal planning tools, smart shopping lists, recipes curated by a physician, dietitian and chef educator, daily self-monitoring features with personalized weekly goals, bi-weekly live one-on-one health coaching and support from an online member community, and an educational curriculum. Subjects in the Program may receive support from other members of a Care Team (lifestyle medicine physician, chef educator, registered dietitian and/or psychologist/psychiatrist) as needed. The Care Team does not provide medical advice, nor replace traditional medical care. Instead, the Care Team encourages behavior change by providing support and sharing its expertise. Study participants will have access to the Program for a twelve week period and will be asked to complete short health surveys at baseline and at the end of the study.
