Food insecurity is associated with diabetes self-care behaviours and glycaemic control.
The objective of the study was to examine the association between food insecurity, diabetes self-care and glycaemic control. It concluded that there was a high rate of food insecurity in a sample of patients with Type 2 diabetes who were of low socio-economic status. Food insecurity was associated with less adherence to recommended self-care behaviours and worse glycaemic control.
