Abstract
This pilot study investigated reported fruit and vegetable consumption and diabetic control for older patients with a diagnoses of diabetes and food insecurity at a rural Midwestern Federally Qualified Health Center. Vouchers ($40 per month for 3 months) were provided for fruits and vegetables at a local farmers’ market during a 12-week program (June 2020-August 2020). Data revealed a statistically significant increase in reported green vegetable consumption and farmers’ market visits postintervention. There was not a significant change in hemoglobin A1c, body mass index, or other reported produce consumption.
