Study Details

The goal of this pilot intervention study is to learn if culturally appropriate food bundles and nutrition education can help people with diabetes who struggle to afford healthy food in patients with diabetes receiving care at Community Care Clinic in Winston-Salem, NC. The main questions we hope to answer are: 1. Can providing culturally appropriate foods and recipes improve how people cook and prepare meals at home? 2. Can this approach improve people's nutrition knowledge and help them better manage their diabetes? 3. Can this approach improve overall health outcomes for people with diabetes who face food insecurity? Participants will: 1. Complete an initial interview and survey about their food security, health challenges, and social needs 2. Receive culturally appropriate food bundles designed for their community 3. Receive easy-to-use educational materials including recipes and cooking guides that match their reading level 4. Complete follow-up surveys at 3 months and 6 months to track any changes in their cooking habits, nutrition knowledge, diabetes management, and health
