Results: Combining DPP and CM resulted in a 79% program completion rate. Mean HbA1C dropped 10.6% (paired t-test, P < 0.01), and each participant demonstrated lower post-test HbA1C values. Participants experienced a mean weight loss of 7.6% (paired t-test, P < 0.01), and >75% of participants exceeded the 5% DPP weight loss outcome objective at 12 months. Conclusions: Cooking Matters TM coupled with the Diabetes Prevention Program is an effective strategy to improve outcomes and reduce diabetes risk in low-income communities. Food bank resources can be coupled with existing chronic illness prevention programs to improve both disease risk and food security.
