A Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program (NCT06107816)
A Pilot, 3-arm Randomized Controlled Trial of a Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program for Patients With Type Two Diabetes
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Dietary intake of fruits and vegetables (F\&V) is a cornerstone for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, however less than 16% of Hispanic adults consume the recommended number of servings each day. F\&V prescription (F\&V Rx) programs are embedded into clinical settings and provide patients with vouchers to purchase F\&V at local retailers. The proposed study aims to test the effects of a F\&V Rx on diabetes self-management education and support (DSME/S) uptake and retention, dietary intake of F\&V and diet quality, glucose control (hemoglobin A1c), and program implementation outcomes.
