First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving diabetes patients who are at risk for food insecurity money to buy fruits and vegetables, along with nutrition education, can improve their blood sugar control and reduce emergency room visits. Over 2,000 adults participated, with one group receiving the produce benefit and the other only educational materials. Researchers compared changes in HbA1c (average blood sugar) and healthcare use over 18 months.
