10.5% of US households were food insecure at some time during 2020. Those with diabetes and prediabetes are more likely to be food insecure. #ADA2022
Food insecurity in those with diabetes is associated with higher levels of diabetes distress, lower self efficacy, and worse glycemic outcomes. But what about quality of life? #ADA2022
The primary outcome of the study being reported today was health related quality of life. People were also asked 10 questions about food insecurity. People who were food insecure reported significantly worse physical and mental health related quality of life.
