Detailed Summary
The HEAL-D feasibility trial is a randomised control study to determine the feasibility of conducting an effectiveness trial of the Healthy Eating \& Active Lifestyles for Diabetes programme; a culturally-tailored diet and lifestyle intervention for the management of type 2 diabetes in African and Caribbean communities. In this feasibility study HEAL-D will be evaluated against usual care in 80 patients with type 2 diabetes. HEAL-D is a programme of culturally-tailored diabetes self-management education and support, delivered over 7 sessions. Key outcomes are the acceptability of the programme; and recruitment and retention of the research participants. The current study will also pilot the feasibility and acceptability to participants of measuring proposed primary and secondary outcomes including HbA1c, blood lipids (triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol), body weight, waist circumference, diabetes knowledge, diabetes and dietary competence, diabetes empowerment, perceived social support, quality of life, dietary intake, and physical activity.
