Summary

This trial will provide families with a child who has type 2 diabetes with a prescription for fruits and vegetables. The prescription will come in the form of a voucher that can be used at any Northgate Gonzalez Markets throughout San Diego and Riverside counties. The goal of this program is to increase the purchase and consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, decrease food insecurity, and improve metabolic outcomes for children with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for families with children under 18 who have type 2 diabetes, are treated at Rady Children's Hospital Diabetes Clinic, and have a Hemoglobin A1c of 6.5 or higher. It excludes households that already have a family member in the study.
What is being tested?
The trial tests a Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program where families get electronic vouchers to buy fresh produce at Northgate Gonzalez Markets, aiming to improve diet and health outcomes in kids with type 2 diabetes.
What are the potential side effects?
There are no direct medical side effects from participating in this program as it involves dietary changes by increasing fruit and vegetable intake rather than medication.
