How food security affects diabetes management in young people
Impact of Disparities in Food Security on Glycemic Control and Health CareUtilization Among Youth and Young Adults with Diabetes
['FUNDING_R01'] · UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA AT COLUMBIA · NIH-11134438
This study is looking at how having enough food affects blood sugar control in young people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and it aims to find out how changes in food access can impact their health over time, so we can create better support for those who need it.

What this research studies
This research investigates the impact of food security on glycemic control among youth and young adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It aims to understand how varying levels of food security influence health outcomes, particularly focusing on daily fluctuations in food access. By using advanced methods like ecological momentary assessment and continuous glucose monitoring, the study seeks to gather detailed data on how food insecurity affects diabetes management over time. The findings could help develop targeted interventions to improve health outcomes for affected individuals.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are youth and young adults diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who experience food insecurity.
Not a fit: Patients who are food secure and do not have diabetes may not receive any benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved diabetes management strategies for young people facing food insecurity.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that addressing food insecurity can significantly improve health outcomes in populations with diabetes, suggesting a promising avenue for this research.
