Official title
The Feasibility, Implementation and Efficacy of a Diabetes Reversal Online Program and Study (DROP Study) in an Office Setting
About this study
This study aims to assess the feasibility and implementation of an online, plant-based, diabetes reversal program in a community setting. The study will also assess changes in glycated hemoglobin, body weight, and plasma lipids with an online 12-week, plant-based, nutrition education program. These health benefits may illustrate feasibility to physicians and healthcare professionals elsewhere, in addition to their value for the individual research participants.
