Cardiometabolic Impact of a Produce Prescription Program in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Food Insecurity (GARDEN-CARDIO)

24. Juni 2026 aktualisiert von: George Sokos, West Virginia University

A Randomized Crossover Trial Evaluating the Cardiometabolic Impact of a Produce Prescription Program in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Food Insecurity

This study is testing whether providing monthly vouchers to buy fruits and vegetables can help improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. People receiving care at WVU clinics who recently had an HbA1c level above 8% will be invited to participate in the study. Those who are interested will speak with a study coordinator, be screened for eligibility, and, if eligible, will provide written consent to join the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive $100 per month in produce-only grocery vouchers and standardized dietary education for 5 months, followed by 5 months of usual diabetes care. The second group will receive usual diabetes care first for 5 months, followed by 5 months of produce-only grocery vouchers and standardized dietary education. This crossover design allows all participants to experience both approaches during the study. Researchers will measure changes in blood sugar (HbA1c) as the main outcome. Other outcomes include blood pressure, cholesterol levels, body weight, diet quality, food security, anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and physical activity. These will be assessed through lab tests, clinic measurements, and surveys at certain time points during the 10 month study period. The study team will also track how often participants use the vouchers and any challenges they face. The risks of participating are expected to be minimal and similar to routine diabetes care. The total study duration, including enrollment, participation, and analysis, is expected to be about 18 months.

Teilnehmergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandlung
Experimental: Produce Gift Card to Usual Care
Participants are randomized to receive the produce prescription intervention, consisting of fruit and vegetable vouchers and standardized dietary education, for 5 months, followed by crossover to usual care for an additional 5 months.
Participants receive $100 per month in Walmart gift cards restricted to the purchase of fruits and vegetables. Gift cards are provided monthly during the intervention period and usage is tracked using participant-specific access codes. Participants also receive standardized dietary education consistent with current clinical guidelines, delivered by study personnel during the intervention period only.
Participants receive standard clinical care for management of type 2 diabetes. No study-provided produce vouchers or study-provided dietary education are provided during this period.
