In a pre–post intervention study involving 50 adults experiencing food insecurity with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), participants received weekly healthy food boxes, tailored recipes, and behavioral support over 12 weeks. Results showed significant improvements in diet quality with increased consumption of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, and reductions in red/processed meat, trans fat, sodium, and alcohol intake. Additionally, blood lipid levels improved and participants lost weight.
