Fresh Food Farmacy Program Helping Some Patients Better Manage Diabetes.

reports that rather than “relying solely on drugs to manage” diabetes, “doctors are writing prescriptions for certain patients to enter” the “Fresh Food Farmacy program: 15 hours of education about diabetes and healthier living, followed by 10 free nutritious meals a week for participants and their families.” The program specifically “targets people with diabetes and food insecurity, those for whom it’s not always clear where the next meal will come from.” https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/20/diabetes-defeated-by-diet-new-fresh-food-prescriptions-beat-drugs.html
