Abstract
© 2018 by the American Diabetes Association. This study examined differences in household food security (HFS), household adult food security (HAFS), and indicators of diabetes management between clients using free and fee-for-service clinics for diabetes care and management. The study’s 166 participants (free clinic, n = 41; fee-for-service clinic, n =125) had a mean age of 53 ± 16 years and were primarily Caucasian (n = 147 [91.9%]). Both HFS (P <0.001) and HAFS (P <0.001) differed between the clinic groups, as did A1C (free clinic 8.7 ± 1.7%; fee-for-service 7.8 ± 1.6%; P = 0.005). A1C increased as HFS (r = 0.293, P <0.001) and HAFS (r = 0.288, P = 0.001) worsened.
