About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the effects of a 9-week dietician-guided program modified from the National Diabetic Prevention Program (modified DPP-diet) in people with spinal cord injury on body composition and insulin sensitivity.
The main question it aims to answer is:
Does 9 week modified DPP-diet reduce body fat percentage and insulin resistance?
Participants will:
Have 9 weeks of Telehealth visit with dietician certified in providing DPP. Visit the laboratory before, immediately and 9 weeks after completion of the modified DPP-diet.
Share with the researcher on the perceived benefit and obstacles in implementing the modified DPP-diet as part of their daily activities.
