Summary

This study tests whether giving people with type 2 diabetes money to buy healthy foods online, plus free delivery, helps lower their blood sugar levels. About 1,000 adults with poorly controlled diabetes will either get money for healthy food plus free delivery, or just free delivery. Researchers will check blood sugar changes after 6 months.
