Summary

The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility of different food interventions, delivered through insurance providers, for addressing food insecurity in patients at risk of gestational diabetes (diabetes in pregnancy). Interventions include prepared food (fully prepared meals that participants can heat and eat) and unprepared food (boxes containing both fresh and shelf-stable items). The study will also assess the acceptability of food interventions for pregnant people.
