Summary
This study tests whether giving low-income adults with type 2 diabetes vouchers for fruits and vegetables helps them attend diabetes education classes and improve their diet and blood sugar control. 120 participants will be split into three groups: usual care, vouchers alone, or vouchers plus education. The goal is to see if this simple program can make healthy eating easier and lead to better diabetes management.
