Why Houston needs a diabetes-first meal plan

Houston has one of America's most diverse food scenes — Texas BBQ meets Vietnamese Chinatown meets Tex-Mex meets Gulf Coast seafood. That diversity is actually an advantage: Vietnamese pho and goi cuon are naturally low-GI, BBQ brisket is pure protein, and Tex-Mex enchiladas can be rebuilt on corn tortillas. Our Houston plans lean into Bellaire's banh mi shops and Gulfton taco trucks, not chain restaurants.

State-level adult T2D prevalence: ~13%. Texas adult T2D prevalence sits at 12-13%, notably higher than the US average; Houston's Hispanic and Asian-American populations show elevated risk.India is home to approximately 101 million adults living with Type 2 diabetes (ICMR-INDIAB, 2023) — one of the world's largest at-risk populations.
