LIFT-DM Trial Summary
This trial is testing whether monthly food vouchers or monthly mailed food boxes are better for glycemic control in low income, food insecure, African Americans with Type 2 Diabetes. The trial will also test whether providing diabetes education in combination with food supplementation leads to improved clinical outcomes compared to education alone.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for African American adults with Type 2 Diabetes who are experiencing food insecurity, have an income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level or are Medicaid eligible, and can communicate in English. Participants must be over 21 years old with a clinical diagnosis of diabetes and HbA1c levels >=8%. Those with drug/alcohol dependency, short life expectancy, significant dementia, active psychosis, or involvement in other diabetes trials cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The LIFT-DM study is testing whether monthly mailed stock boxes of food or monthly food vouchers improve blood sugar control better than just diabetes education alone. It's also checking if combining both stock boxes and vouchers has a superior effect. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: only education; education plus stock boxes; education plus vouchers; or all three combined.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions like food assistance and educational support rather than drugs or medical procedures, there aren't typical side effects as seen in pharmaceutical trials. However, participants may experience changes in diet habits.
