Summary

This study will give 12 families of children with type 1 diabetes and food insecurity either weekly boxes of fresh produce or semi-prepared meal kits, plus nutrition coaching. The goal is to see if these programs are practical and improve diet quality and blood sugar stability. It is a small pilot to test feasibility, not a large effectiveness trial.

Active substance: medically tailored meal kits, produce prescriptions, and nutrition coaching
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that providing healthy food and coaching helps families manage diabetes better and reduces food insecurity.
