Food is Medicine in Pediatric Patients With Diabetes
Summary
The NIH ClinicalTrials.gov registry has published a randomized controlled trial (NCT07535502) evaluating Food is Medicine Programming through medically tailored pre-packaged meals for pediatric patients with Type 1 Diabetes. The study will assess whether medically-tailored meals combined with nutrition counseling improves clinical outcomes, decreases healthcare utilization, and improves health-related quality of life in children and adolescents with diabetes and potential food security concerns.
What changed
NIH ClinicalTrials.gov registered a new randomized controlled trial (NCT07535502) titled 'Food is Medicine in Pediatric Patients With Diabetes.' The trial will enroll pediatric patients with Type 1 Diabetes who have food security or access concerns, providing them with medically-tailored pre-packaged meals from Community Servings in addition to standard care including nutrition counseling by a Registered Dietician.
For affected parties, this represents an informational notice about an ongoing clinical study rather than a compliance requirement. Healthcare providers at UMass involved in pediatric diabetes care may participate as investigators or refer patients. Patients and families dealing with Type 1 Diabetes and food insecurity may seek enrollment information. The study interventions include Community Servings meal plans, PedsQL surveys, nutrition counseling, and SDOH (Social Determinants of Health) surveys.

Abstract
The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of novel Food is Medicine Programming in the form of medically tailored pre-packaged meals for pediatric patients with Type 1 Diabetes. The provision of medically-tailored meals to children and adolescents with diabetes that have potential food security or access concerns in addition to nutrition counseling will improve clinical outcomes, decrease healthcare utilization, and improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Consulting with a Registered Dietician is the established multidisciplinary standard of care for pediatric patients with diabetes at UMass. Community Servings provides a medically-tailored pre-packaged meal plan designed for pediatric patients with Type 1 Diabetes. The addition of Community Servings to the current standard of care in pediatric patients with potential food security or access concerns will further improve clinical, decrease healthcare utilization, and improve HRQOL outcomes in pediatric patients with Type 1 Diabetes.
