First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program that gives fresh fruits and vegetables to Native American adults aged 55 and older who face food insecurity and have type 2 diabetes or are at risk. Participants receive vouchers to buy healthy food at local centers, along with nutrition education. The goal is to see if the program is practical and helps improve blood sugar and weight.
