What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of this study is study the impact of meal sequencing when added to standard care in individuals with diabetes mellitus/prediabetes who receive produce boxes as part of a food insecurity program.

Meal sequencing is a way of eating where proteins and vegetables are consumed before carbohydrates. Eating proteins and vegetables first has shown to cause lower post meal glucose levels compared to eating carbohydrates first in a meal.

The investigators believe participants with prediabetes or diabetes mellitus experiencing food insecurity enrolled in a produce delivery program and receive meal sequencing counseling will have improvement in glucose levels and dietary quality compared to those who are enrolled in the produce delivery program and receive standard nutritional counseling.
