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 produce prescription program—where you receive vouchers or prescriptions to buy fresh fruits and vegetables—can help people with type 2 diabetes lower their blood sugar levels. If the produce program alone doesn't work well enough after a few months, some participants will also use a real-time continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor worn on your body that tracks blood sugar throughout the day) to see if it helps even more.
Many Hispanic and Latino adults with type 2 diabetes struggle to keep their blood sugar under control, especially those not yet taking insulin. This study wants to see if making fresh produce more accessible, and pairing it with glucose monitoring, could be a practical way to help people manage their diabetes better.

You would first enroll in a produce prescription program where you receive support to buy more fresh fruits and vegetables over several months. If your blood sugar improves enough, you're done. If not, you'll be randomly assigned either to continue the produce program alone or to also wear a real-time glucose monitoring device for 3 more months so researchers can see which approach works best for you. Throughout the study, you'll have regular check-ins with the research team.
