How Food Insecurity Feeds Diabetes
Originally Presented March 19, 2024
Overview
Social determinants of health impact people with diabetes in many ways. For example, about 20% of individuals with diabetes face food insecurity, which leads to increased risk or poor management of diabetes. Diabetes is a complex condition, and people with diabetes face many challenges in managing it, including having access to and eating healthy foods. Black adults and people with low income are more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes and more likely than whites to be food insecure (Walker et al. 2020). This webcast will focus on how public health and healthcare providers can help address this important social determinant contributing to the incidence of diabetes and to disparities in diabetes.
