Description
Shanti Omodei-James and co-authors set out a pilot trial with Aboriginal communities in South Australia in a 2025 protocol paper. Type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome run at epidemic levels among Indigenous peoples, tied to colonization's legacy. The project, whose name means very good foods in the local language, was co-designed with the community on Ngarrindjeri Country.
The twenty-eight-week pilot uses a stepped-wedge design at two rural sites. Adults with diabetes or metabolic syndrome move through control, remission, and maintenance phases. A low-carbohydrate diet anchors the program, with glucose and ketone monitors, meal boxes, and regular check-ins as support. Feasibility, meaning recruitment, retention, and adherence, is the main measure. Interviews in the yarning method aid interpretation. Findings will go back to community first, the authors stress, before any larger trial.
