The Lifestyle Education About Nutrition for Diabetes (Legend) Study

This study is being completed to compare two dietary approaches for participants with type 2 diabetes. This research will test whether a very low-carbohydrate or a plate-method diet better improves outcomes for blood glucose control and body composition for patients with type 2 diabetes that follow one of these approaches for 12 months. Participants that meet screening and eligibility will be randomized to one of the two diets. In addition to the diet, study specific visits and assessments will be performed at various timepoints.
