Summary
This study gives families on Medi-Cal who have a child with type 2 diabetes monthly vouchers worth $105 to buy fresh fruits, vegetables, beans, and legumes at participating markets. The goal is to see if easier access to healthy food improves blood sugar levels, food security, and overall health. Two hundred children will be followed for a year.
