Nutrition Program for Hospitalized Diabetics with Food Insecurity

This study is testing a nutrition program for people with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes who are experiencing food insecurity (not having reliable access to enough affordable, nutritious food). The program involves twice-daily meal delivery for up to 90 days after leaving the hospital, plus food and diet education. Researchers want to see if this program can reduce food insecurity 60 days after you leave the hospital. You might be able to join if you have diabetes, are admitted to Stanford Healthcare, live in California, have food insecurity, and your healthcare plan covers Mom's Meals. The study aims to enroll 160 participants.
