NCT ID NCT04959487
Summary
This study tested whether providing free, diabetes-friendly meals and nutrition education for six months could help low-income adults with type 2 diabetes better manage their condition. Researchers enrolled 281 participants who were struggling with food insecurity and randomly assigned them to either receive the meal program or continue with their usual care. The goal was to see if this 'food is medicine' approach could improve blood sugar control, reduce food insecurity, and lower healthcare use.
