NCT ID NCT07472712
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether giving adults at risk for type 2 diabetes free fresh fruits and vegetables, along with a proven lifestyle program, can help them lower blood sugar and lose weight. One hundred adults with prediabetes will either get the standard diabetes prevention program or that program plus weekly produce bags and cooking classes. Researchers will track how well the program works and whether it is practical for real-world use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and Produce Prescription Plan (PPP) - a lifestyle program plus free fresh produce and cooking demos
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that combining healthy food access with lifestyle coaching helps prevent type 2 diabetes in high-risk communities.
What could go wrong
This is a small early feasibility study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program is intensive and may be hard to sustain long-term.
