Addressing Food Insecurity and Diabetes Prevention: Resources and Tools for Success

In order to better understand how food banks can support people with prediabetes, Feeding America conducted a diabetes prevention pilot project with the Alameda County Community Food Bank (ACCFB) in Oakland, CA from 2017-2019. The pilot project included implementation and evaluation of key activities, including screening clients for diabetes risk, providing 12-months of supplemental food, and evaluating participant outcomes. This resource outlines results from the pilot project and identifies key resources and considerations for food banks working to address prediabetes in their communities.
