Community Servings: Food as Medicine for Diabetes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Medically Tailored Meal Delivery (MTM) and Usual Care + Choose MyPlate for Diabetes. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Food insecurity, defined as difficulty accessing food owing to cost, affects 1 in 5 diabetes patients. To address this, the investigators are conducting a pilot randomized controlled trial of medically tailored meal delivery (MTM). The pilot study has two specific aims: Aim 1: To determine the effect of receiving MTM on dietary quality for food insecure diabetes patients with hyperglycemia Aim 2: To determine the feasibility and acceptability of the program as a medical intervention and refine the program as needed for testing in larger studies. This study is a crossover randomized controlled pilot trial, where approximately 50 participants, 25 in each arm, will be randomized to receipt of 12 weeks of MTM, to begin immediately, or waitlist control. After 12 weeks, the groups will crossover, with the waitlist control group now receiving 12 weeks of MTM. At baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks, the participants will complete assessments of their dietary quality (HEI score), psychosocial measures such as diabetes distress and food insecurity, along with measures of body mass index, blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, and lipids.
