(F15) Translating Cooking Matters for Diabetes From Pilot Research to Health‑System Practice

Friday, August 7, 2026
2:00 PM - 2:45 PM ET
CE: .75 CE
This interactive panel session examines how Cooking Matters for Diabetes evolved from a small research pilot into a sustainable health‑system program using a translational science framework. Presenters will trace the program’s progression through a funded 3‑year study, adaptation within a clinical trial, and integration into routine care at an academic medical center. Through brief case vignettes, live polling, and peer discussion, attendees will explore implementation challenges, data‑informed decision‑making, and strategies that supported scalability and sustainability. Attendees will leave with practical tools and lessons applicable to translating DSMES, nutrition, and lifestyle interventions into real‑world clinical and community settings.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
  • Identify actionable translational steps to advance DSMES interventions from pilot research to health‑system implementation.
  • Apply implementation strategies to translate DSMES programs within diverse clinical and community settings.
  • Evaluate data, operational, and funding factors affecting DSMES scalability, sustainability, and equity in academic health systems.
