Summary

Food insecurity increases an individual's risk of poor health outcomes from some of the most costly and preventable chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. The goal of this interventional pilot study is to see if primary care patients with self-reported food insecurity and a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes who receive 12 weekly home deliveries of fresh produce and diabetes-appropriate, shelf-stable food will have improved diabetes management. Half of these patients also received support from a community health worker (CHW) including nutrition and cooking education and tailored assistance accessing food resources and other social needs (example: transportation). The investigators hypothesized that participants receiving support from a CHW along with food boxes would have greater improvement in health outcomes compared to those participants who received only food.
