Summary
This study tests a 'Food is Medicine' program in three Mississippi Delta counties with high rates of diabetes, obesity, and poverty. About 300 adults with high blood sugar or diabetes will receive free fruit and vegetable boxes plus nutrition tips. The goal is to see if this improves blood sugar control and other heart health measures compared to a control group that gets the boxes later.
