Summary
This study tests whether adding peer support and healthy food vouchers to a standard diabetes prevention program helps low-income adults with prediabetes stick with the program and lower their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. About 142 participants will either get the standard program alone or the program plus a buddy and vouchers. The study lasts 6 months and tracks attendance, weight, blood sugar, and diet quality.
