How are you treating your patients with diabetes and food insecurity?

1 in 3 patients with diabetes experiences food insecurity. Compared to their food secure counterparts, they are:

  • 450% more likely to utilize emergency department services
  • 50% more likely to have poor glucose control
  • 30% higher in healthcare costs

Treating food insecurity needs to be done sustainably, in a way that empowers diabetics to maintain healthy habits beyond the life of a benefit.

This requires addressing the social determinants of health that give rise to food insecurity, like food access and healthy cooking knowledge. Healthy food must be:

Affordable & Accessible

Healthy food is more expensive many communities lack nutritious offerings.

Quick &

Easy

Limited healthy cooking knowledge Cooking dinner needs to fit into daily life.

Culturally Relevant & Tasty

Patients need food that is familiar, dishes must appeal to the whole family.

I don't have to worry when my food that I get with my food stamps runs out. I know I won't go hungry anymore. I used to go grocery shopping for 2 weeks just to wait for my food stamps to come or longer. You have made a big difference. God bless you always. Amen!

“The doctor gave me a list of healthy foods…. I didn't know how to cook them. EatWell taught me how to choose healthy foods and cook with them!
