Summary

This trial is testing whether a combination of a medically tailored meal and an intensive lifestyle intervention can help adults with food insecurity, HIV, and Type 2 diabetes, compared to those who just receive a medically tailored meal.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18, who speak English and are not planning to move for a year, can join this trial if they're food insecure with HIV and Type 2 Diabetes or at high risk of it. They must be able to control their diet and consent to all study activities. Pregnant individuals, those in similar studies recently, with certain illnesses or drug misuse cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing whether specially prepared meals plus an intensive lifestyle program (MTM + ILI) help adults with HIV and diabetes better than the usual medical treatment for diabetes alone. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these two groups.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve medically tailored meals and lifestyle changes rather than medications, side effects may include dietary adjustments or discomfort from new physical activities but are generally expected to be minimal.
