The development, reliability and validity of a tool to measure stage of change to consume a controlled carbohydrate eating plan in a type 2 diabetes population

Participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus will complete two questionnaires and 4 food recalls in a period of 30 days. One questionnaire measures readiness to follow a diabetes diet and the other questionnaire measures kind, amount and frequency of foods eaten during the past month. If eligible, participants will need to come to one face-to-face meeting at which they will be weighed and complete one of the questionnaires. The remaining food recalls and questionnaires will be conducted over the phone. Participants will receive a $35 gift certificate from a place of their choice when all questionnaires and food recalls are completed.
