Study Summary

This trial tests if giving food, teaching about diabetes, and connecting to resources can improve diabetes control in people with limited food access.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for people with type 2 diabetes who also struggle to get enough food (food insecurity) and have high blood sugar levels, as shown by a hemoglobin A1c of 7.5% or more. Participants must be willing to share their information with the Mid-Ohio Food Collective.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The LINK trial is testing whether giving out fresh produce, teaching about cooking for diabetes, and connecting participants to community resources can help lower blood sugar levels in those facing both diabetes and food shortages.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this study involves dietary changes and education rather than medication, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from lifestyle adjustments or allergic reactions to new foods.
