Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Recruitment from Sep 2002 to Dec 2008. Subjects recruited from a diabetes specialty referral clinic, as well as from primary care clinics and through advertising in the South Los Angeles area.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment

Baseline run-in period to document baseline control and reinforce dietary/lifestyle principles.

3 subjects not randomized due to protocol violations.
