Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how experiencing food needs affects diabetes-related health outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes over a follow-up period of up to 36 months.
- Researchers found that those who did not experience food needs had lower average levels of HbA1c, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), suggesting better diabetes management, but no impact on LDL cholesterol levels.
- The results indicate that addressing food needs could lead to modest improvements in diabetes outcomes, highlighting the importance of integrating food security interventions in diabetes care.
