Abstract
A Fruit and Vegetable Prescription program (12-16 weeks, 2018-2020) was implemented at community health centers serving rural communities in the northwestern United States. The impact of the program on type 2 diabetes control was evaluated. Reductions in mean hemoglobin A1C were statistically significant (<i>P</i> < .01). The percentage of participants with critically high blood glucose levels (A1C > 9%) decreased from 76% (114/151) to 41% (62/151; <i>P</i> < .01). The findings mirror those of similar programs. The sustainability of these beneficial interventions, however, relies on improved access to preventive care. (<i>Am J Public Health</i>. 2022;112(7):975-979.https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.306853).
