- Registration Number
- NCT01625507
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Alberta
- Brief Summary
The study hypothesis is that individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D), who adhere to the PANDA intervention, will have improved compliance with the nutritional therapy recommendations of the Canadian Diabetes Association. Specific objectives of this proposal: The objectives of the investigators PANDA (Physical Activity and Nutrition for Diabetes in Alberta) are to (a) to devise and evaluate the efficacy of a multi-level, practical, nutrition intervention program that promotes the individual factors required for effective self-management practices AND that explicitly incorporate strategies to improve food availability, accessibility and acceptability and (b) to use these interventions as a means to examine the relationships between food availability, accessibility, acceptability, adherence to Nutrition Therapy Guidelines, and metabolic indicators of diabetes control in people with type 2 diabetes.
