Abstract
Diabetes, particularly Type 2 diabetes, has increasingly become more prevalent in Black and Brown communities. More specifically, African descent groups, such as Somalis, who migrate to the U.S. face numerous health challenges, diabetes being one of the most common. Many research points to food insecurity, acculturation, and/or traditional eating behaviors as the main driving forces that lead to poorer health outcomes for Somalis; yet, very few have explored nutritional health interventions to curb or reverse diabetes. To address this gap, Somali cuisine was explored and culturally-centered and diabetes-friendly guidelines were provided.
