PHI CWN's study showed the following results after 12 months:.

PHI CWN的研究显示12个月后的结果如下：。

Decreased A1C levels: A1C is a test that reflects average glucose levels for the past three months. Higher A1C levels, a sign of uncontrolled diabetes, lead to higher risk for diabetes-related complications including cardiovascular disease, blindness or limb amputation. During this study, participants with uncontrolled diabetes (baseline A1C values greater than 7.0%) saw their A1C levels decrease by 0.80%, on average (from 9.73% to 8.93%, p = 0.003).

A1C水平降低：A1C是反映过去三个月平均血糖水平的测试。A1C水平越高，糖尿病未得到控制，导致糖尿病相关并发症（包括心血管疾病，失明或肢体截肢）的风险越高。在这项研究中，未控制糖尿病（基线A1C值大于7.0%）的参与者的A1C水平平均下降0.80%（从9.73%降至8.93%，p=0.003）。

This average decrease for the group exceeds the widely accepted 0.5% benchmark that is considered a clinically significant change and is associated with improved health outcomes in people with diabetes.  .

该组的平均下降超过了被广泛接受的0.5%基准，该基准被认为是临床上显着的变化，并且与糖尿病患者的健康结果改善相关。  .

Improved diabetes self-management: The number of participants who rated their ability to self-manage their diabetes grew significantly through the program (p < 0.05): 88% of participants reported they follow their meal plan (compared to 58% before enrolling in Healthy Food Rx); 78% reported more physical activity (compared to 61%); and 43% now talk with mentors and friends about diabetes management and healthy living (compared to 12%), all consistent with empowerment of people living with diabetes.  .

改善糖尿病自我管理：通过该计划评估其自我管理糖尿病能力的参与者人数显着增加（p<0.05）：88%的参与者报告他们遵循饮食计划（相比之下，参加健康之前为58%）食物Rx）；78%的人报告体力活动更多（61%）；现在有43%的人与导师和朋友谈论糖尿病管理和健康生活（相比之下为12%），这些都与糖尿病患者的权力相一致。  .

Improved diet quality: Participants' average fruit and vegetable consumption increased significantly. Fruit intake increased by 0.28 times per day, which equals almost two more servings per week; and vegetable intake increased by 0.14 times per day, which equals one more serving per week (p = 0.001 and 0.028, respectively).  .

改善饮食质量：参与者的平均水果和蔬菜消费量显着增加。水果摄入量每天增加0.28次，相当于每周增加近两份；蔬菜摄入量每天增加0.14次，相当于每周增加一次（分别为p=0.001和0.028）。  .

Improved food security: At the start of the program, 34% of participants were food secure. During the program, food security increased significantly to 44% (p = 0.018).

改善粮食安全：在该计划开始时，34%的参与者是粮食安全的。在该计划期间，粮食安全显着增加至44%（p=0.018）。

Healthy Food Rx is one of the largest food as medicine programs for people with diabetes in the country, having reached more than 450 participants to date.

'Change happens through genuine partnership. I'd like to congratulate and thank our local Stockton organizations, Community Medical Centers and the Emergency Food Bank, along with Abbott and PHI, for demonstrating the importance of listening, collaboration and building new solutions to tackle the challenges of diabetes.' .

Program participants received food boxes from the Emergency Food Bank Stockton/San Joaquin (EFB), delivered directly to their home every other week for one year. The boxes included ingredients for a family-sized healthy meal with vegetables and fruits, as well as pantry staples such as beans, rice and nuts.

计划参与者收到紧急食品银行Stockton/San Joaquin（EFB）的食品盒，每隔一周直接送到家中一年。这些盒子包括蔬菜和水果的家庭规模健康膳食的成分，以及豆类，大米和坚果等pantry主食。

The box also contained a recipe card and link to an optional online cooking class with EFB, which provided additional guidance and diabetes education..

该盒子还包含一张食谱卡，并与EFB链接到可选的在线烹饪班，提供额外的指导和糖尿病教育。。

'Nutritious food is critical for managing diabetes and staying healthy,' said Dr. Leonard Hansen, Ph.D., CEO, Emergency Food Bank of Stockton/San Joaquin County.
