About

This is a one-group pilot study where Chinese immigrants who are English speaking with T2D from NYU Langone Health and NYU Brooklyn Family Health Center (Sunset Park) will be recruited.

Full description

To evaluate the estimation accuracy using eButton, researchers will collect carbohydrate data via weighing food by registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) ("gold standard") (2 days/week at research labs) and food diaries by participants (2 days/week at research labs and 3 days/ week at participant home). Then, the estimated carb grams will be compared head to head among each other. Assessment will be at 0 and 2 weeks, including surveys and qualitative audio interview.

Enrollment: 12 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 99 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• ≥18 years old
• Diagnosed with T2D at least one year prior
• Self-identified as first- or second-generation Chinese immigrants
• Feel comfortable communicating in English, the reason is that the questionnaires/surveys are validated in English
• Have a computer and internet connection

Exclusion criteria

• Plan frequent travel or vacations or plan to relocate in the next five weeks
• Have serious diabetes-related complications, physical illness, or mental illness (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or substance abuse) that would preclude participation
• Have severe cognitive impairments (e.g., dementia, intellectual disability)
