This study is a multi-dimensional therapeutic lifestyle program that offers cooking and nutrition education as well as email-based health coaching to diabetic patients in an underserved Cleveland community. This is an innovative project as it is one of the first focused efforts within this community to improve diabetes control and prevent diabetes progression through cooking and nutrition as well as to systematically measure both clinical and behavioral outcomes.
