Abstract
Background: Nutrition related cardiometabolic diseases are leading causes of morbidity, health disparities and health care spending. Produce prescriptions are highly promising to address these issues but impacts on health outcomes have not been tested in a randomized controlled trial.
Hypothesis: A pre-randomized controlled trial that provides 6 months of free weekly produce deliveries to the intervention group reduces hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), body mass index (BMI), and blood pressure (BP), among Medicaid patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and persistently elevated HbA1c when compared to the control group.
