Read our Type 2 Diabetes research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a simple idea works: giving families monthly vouchers to buy fresh fruits and vegetables can help children with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar and overall health. The researchers want to see if having easier, more affordable access to fresh produce makes a real difference in how well kids control their diabetes. You'd be helping answer this important question while potentially getting free groceries for your family.
Many families struggling with type 2 diabetes find fresh fruits and vegetables expensive or hard to access, which makes it difficult to follow a healthy diet. This study is testing whether removing that barrier—by providing vouchers to buy produce—can help kids with diabetes improve their blood sugar control and stay healthier.

You'll be randomly assigned to one of two groups: either start receiving monthly fruit and vegetable vouchers right away, or wait 6 months before starting them. Either way, you'll get the vouchers for 12 months. Throughout the study, you'll have check-ups at the diabetes clinic where we'll measure your blood sugar, cholesterol, and weight at 6, 12, and 18 months. You'll also answer brief surveys about your diet and food access every 6 months—either online or by phone.
