Type 2 diabetes (T2D) disproportionally impacts adults in Texas, with a prevalence of16.9% in Hispanic versus 14.9% in non-Hispanic Black/African American versus 8.7% in non-Hispanic White adults. This session discusses a study to pilot test a virtual culinary medicine (VCM) program to promote healthy cooking and eating among Texas adults with T2D. A dietitian delivered the program weekly in English and Spanish to individuals with T2D who had an A1C >7% at a primary care practice servicing Houston and Dallas. The program decreased barriers to healthy eating (ß =-0.61, 95%CI -0.83, -0.38, p< 0.001) and improved diabetes self-management (ß =0.24, p< 0.001).
