The REAL HEALTH -Diabetes Study is a practice-based clinical trial that adapted the Look AHEAD lifestyle intervention for implementation in primary care settings. The trial will compare the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of in-person group lifestyle intervention, telephone group lifestyle intervention, and individual medical nutrition therapy (MNT), the current recommended standard of care in type 2 diabetes. The primary outcome is percent weight loss at 6 months with outcomes also measured at 12, 18, 24 (intervention completion), and 36 months. Here, we describe the adaptation, trial design, implementation strategies, and baseline characteristics of enrolled participants.
