Produce Prescription: innovative ‘Food is Medicine’ intervention to improve health among people with type2 diabetes

The Nutrition Science team at the George Institute for Global Health (TGI) will use this funding to further test the efficacy of the intervention of 'Food as medicine' with patients with 2 diabetes, facing social disadvantage and food insecurity located in the Sydney Metropolitan area. An unhealthy diet is one of the major drivers of type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions. In fact, the most recent Global Burden of Disease study shows that a suboptimal diet contributes to 11 million chronic disease deaths per year (globally). These conditions cost the Australian Healthcare System billions of dollars each year, and the burden of disease is felt most by disadvantaged communities.

The project will deploy a larger randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 280 individuals to define clinical benefits and cost-effectiveness to justify the implementation and scaling up of food as medicine. This Australian first study will contribute to developing clinical guideline updates for the nutritional management of type 2 diabetes and create a 'paradigm shift' in health care away from over-reliance on a drug-centred disease treatment approach towards innovative solutions that address the upstream causes of ill health for disease prevention perspective.
