Eliza Short, PhD, RDN, Research Scientist, Center for Nutrition & Health Impact and Research Collaborator with UAMS ICHI, describes a new study demonstrating the potential for home-delivered, medically tailored groceries to make measurable improvements in diabetes management for people experiencing food insecurity and facing transportation barriers. After the program, participants’ average HbA1c decreased by 0.56 percentage points, a clinically meaningful improvement that lowers the risk of diabetes-related complications.
