Food insecurity increases the risk of developing diabetes and its complications. In this article, we describe the complex relationship that exists between food insecurity and diabetes and describe potential mechanisms that may underlie this association. We then describe how two different types of interventions, food-is-medicine and federal nutrition assistance programs, may help address both food insecurity and health. Finally, we outline the research, policy, and practice opportunities that exist to address food insecurity and reduce diabetes-related health disparities.
食物不安全会增加罹患糖尿病及其并发症的风险。本文描述了食物不安全与糖尿病之间存在的复杂关系,并阐述了可能存在于二者关联中的潜在机制。接着,本文还描述了两种不同类型的干预措施,即“食物即药物”和联邦营养援助计划,如何有助于解决食物不安全和健康问题。最后,本文列出了存在的研究、政策和实践机会,以解决食物不安全问题,减少与糖尿病相关的健康差异。
