FAME-D Trial Summary

This trial will test the efficacy of a medically tailored meal intervention for adults with food insecurity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with food insecurity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who speak English, plan to stay in the area for a year, have specific levels of Hemoglobin A1c and BMI, can control their diet, consent to participate, and aren't planning pregnancy. Excluded are those with severe psychiatric issues or substance misuse, involved in similar research recently, without stable housing or phone access, certain medical conditions including advanced kidney disease or recent cancer (except some localized cases).Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two approaches: one group receives medically tailored meals (MTM) plus lifestyle calls for six months; the other gets usual diabetes care plus a monthly food subsidy. The MTM includes weekly delivery of ready-to-eat meals covering half of weekly intake.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves dietary interventions rather than medications, side effects may include changes in digestion or appetite but are generally expected to be minimal compared to drug trials. Lifestyle adjustments might also cause temporary stress or discomfort.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Medically Tailored Meal (MTM)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The Medically Tailored Meal (MTM) intervention consists of weekly home meal delivery; an explanation of the medical tailoring of the meals; and a 6-session telephone lifestyle intervention change program designed to complement the period of meal delivery and prepare for the period after meal delivery with behavioral and skill-building approaches to sustain the benefit of the intervention.
Group II: Food SubsidyActive Control1 Intervention
As a comparison group, those not randomized to receive the MTM intervention will receive usual care provided by their clinicians not associated with the study, plus a food subsidy ($40/month) for 6 months, along with healthy eating information to guide use of that subsidy.
