This study aimed to assess the feasibility and efficacy of culturally-tailored menu plan combined with nutrition education on clinical outcomes, diet quality and qualitative outcomes among Chinese immigrants with type 2 diabetes. A flexible, culturally-tailored menu plan was a feasible and effective tool for improving diabetes knowledge, diet quality, and metabolic outcomes among Chinese immigrants with type 2 diabetes.
