Free groceries for diabetes: does a Food-as-Medicine program beat standard care?
NCT ID NCT07529184
First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether giving free, healthy food boxes to adults with type 2 diabetes in low-income areas helps lower blood sugar more than standard care. Over 400 people in Stockton, CA, received family-sized boxes with fresh produce and pantry staples every two weeks for six months, plus nutrition education. Researchers measured A1C levels, food security, and diabetes self-management to see if the program made a real difference.
