NCT ID NCT06329375
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study tests whether a nutrition program that provides twice-daily meal delivery for up to 90 days after hospital discharge, plus diet education, can reduce food insecurity in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. About 160 hospitalized patients who screen positive for food insecurity will be randomly assigned to receive the program or standard care. The main goal is to see if food insecurity decreases at 60 days after discharge.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Nutrition program with twice daily meal delivery up to 90 days post-discharge and food/diet education
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could reduce food insecurity and improve diabetes control in vulnerable patients after hospital discharge.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, single-center study (160 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply broadly. The program's success depends on adherence and long-term sustainability.
