Summary
This study tests whether giving a healthy food voucher to people with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes who have low income can improve their blood sugar control. About 390 participants will be randomly assigned to receive the voucher or not. The main goal is to see if hemoglobin A1c levels drop over time.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that providing vouchers for healthy food helps control blood sugar in people with diabetes or prediabetes who struggle with food costs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug, so results may vary widely. The trial is still recruiting, and success depends on participants actually using the voucher for healthy choices.
