The aim of this proposal is to determine the impact of a produce prescription program in predominantly Hispanic/Latino adults with established non-insulin treated T2D and an HbA1c at or above 9%. For individuals not responding to the produce prescription program, they will be randomized to the addition of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) or continue with the produce prescription program only for a further 3 months.

Depression and anxiety are measured using DASS-21 (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale - 21)
For the scales, the DASS-21 (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale - 21) reports on depression, anxiety, and stress by using a self-report questionnaire with 21 items. It consists of three subscales, each with seven items, assessing the frequency and severity of symptoms related to each emotion. The questionnaire uses a Likert scale (0-3) where higher scores indicate greater symptom severity. Scoring: Each subscale (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress) is scored separately by summing the responses to its respective items. The total score for each subscale can range from 0 to 21. Interpretation: Higher scores on each subscale indicate a higher level of the corresponding variable.
Time frame: 6 weeks and 3 months
Height

Time frame: 6 weeks and 3 months.
