Study Summary

This investigation will examine the effects of consuming a structured, portion-controlled, low-glycemic index diet (commercially available as the Nutrisystem-D program) on several indicators of glycemic stability and variability among participants with type 2 diabetes. Results on the portion-controlled diet will be compared with those on participants' usual diets in a randomized cross-over trial. The investigators expect that participants will exhibit greater glycemic stability (e.g., more time in euglycemic range) and less glycemic variability (e.g., smaller mean amplitude of glycemic excursions) while consuming the Nutrisystem D program, as compared with their usual diet.
