Do you ever feel like it is a chore to prepare a healthy dinner? Do you wish you had more support for healthful eating and being active? Your family is invited to take part in a research study called Families Preventing Diabetes Together.
You might be able to participate if:
- You or your partner have Type 2 diabetes.
- You have children between the ages of 5-14.
We believe it is important to have the whole family involved in creating a home environment where healthful eat and activity are supported. Â We will invite your entire family to a fun, hands-on program with other families at the Fairview Clinic in Fridley, Minnesota. Â During the program, we will work together to cook fun and tasty recipes, participate in exciting activities to learn more about healthful eating and being active together, and eat a family-meal. Â We will also visit your home to work with you on creating a family plan to encourage healthy snacking and meals. Â The study will include measurement of height weight, eating habits and physical activity (and A1C for the parent with Type 2 diabetes). Â The measurements will be conducted at your home to make it more convenient for you.
