Effect of Medically-tailored Meal Delivery Service on Changes in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in Patients With Diabetes
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of medically-tailored meal delivery (10 meals per week for 3 months) on glycemic control in diabetic patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in Glucose Metabolism [Baseline, 3 monts]
Measured by HbA1c levels in standard chemistry in blood
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in Weight [Baseline, 3 months]
Measured in killograms
- Change in Blood Pressure [Baseline, 3 months]
Measured in units of millimeters of mercury (mmHg)
- Change in High Density lipoprotein (HDL) [Baseline, 3 months]
HDL cholesterol levels measured by standard chemistry in blood reported in units of milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)
- Change in Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) [Baseline, 3 months]
LDL cholesterol levels measured by standard chemistry in blood reported in units of milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)
- Change in Triglycerides [Baseline, 3 months]
Triglyceride levels measured by standard chemistry in blood reported in units of milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)
