Introduction
T2DM
TYPE 2 DIABETES, DISEASES
In urban areas, a rising number of people consume meals outside their homes, most often unhealthy foods, i.e., food high in fat, sugar, and salt, hence increasing their risks for developing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) including type 2 diabetes [The current study involved implementation of two interventions namely: i) intervention package 1 (IP1) consisting of T2DM health information only and ii) Intervention Package 2 (IP2) consisting of T2DM health information and serving of a meal subsidized with vegetables and fruits following the principles of the HPM. Later, the study evaluated if IP1 and or IP2 are effective in reducing cardio-metabolic risk factors, increasing knowledge on T2DM and affecting attitudes towards T2DM prevention measures, as compared to a baseline (pre-post analysis).
