Study Summary

425 million adults live with diabetes worldwide, and the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes is rising. Dietary approaches are recommended for weight control and diabetes management, but modern environments, characterized by plentiful, unhealthy foods, pose challenges to selecting a healthy diet. Behavioral economics offers a framework for modifying the food environment to encourage individuals with diabetes to select low-calorie and low-sugar foods. The goal of this study is to test novel approaches informed by behavioral economics to promote healthier grocery shopping among diabetic patients. Adults who have Type 2 diabetes or who are at risk for developing Type 2 diabetes will be recruited. Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 interventions or a control group in which they will shop in-person as usual. The Online intervention will utilize online grocery shopping to promote healthier purchasing. The Defaults intervention will augment this intervention, showing participants a default shopping cart pre-filled with items that correspond to the DASH diet and diabetic diet goals, which they may modify as they like. Receipt data will be collected to quantify the alignment of purchases with diabetic diet goals before, during, and after interventions. Purchases lower in calories, carbohydrates, and sugar and higher in nutritional quality (DASH diet score) are expected in the Defaults group; the Online group is expected to have intermediary results between Defaults and Controls. The investigators will also explore effects of the interventions on spending and dietary intake. This study is intended to demonstrate the efficacy of strategies that leverage behavioral economics principles to make the purchasing of healthier foods easier. The strategies have translational significance as they could be incorporated into clinical treatment, with the potential to improve dietary intake, glucose regulation, weight, and medication needs among diabetic patients.
