The goal of this feasibility study is to use family units as support to promote nutrition and physical activity of individuals with type 2 diabetes. The main question it aims to answer is:
• How does the family structure impact the health of its members living with type 2 diabetes?
Participants will be asked to;
* Tell us about their access to food sources and places in the community to engage in physical activity. * A nutrition and physical activity plan will be developed for participants and their families to use for 6 months.
