Health care access and glycemic control in youth and young adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in South Carolina

Abstract: Affordability and geographic accessibility are key health care access characteristics. We used data from 481 youth and young adults (YYA) with diabetes (389 type 1, 92 type 2) to understand the association between health care access and glycemic control as measured by HbA1c values. In multivariate models, YYA with state or federal health insurance had HbA1c percentage values 0.68 higher (P = 0.0025) than the privately insured, and those without insurance 1.34 higher (P < 0.0001). Not having a routine diabetes … Show more

“…8,9 Health insurance status has been shown to be strongly associated with glycemic control in YYA with type 1 diabetes. 10,11 Additionally, living in a household with low SEP places a person at a high risk for food insecurity. 12 Food insecurity describes "limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods or limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in social acceptable ways" 13 and may impact several facets of diabetes care, including adherence to nutrition guidelines, physical activity, and diabetes self-management.…”

“…Low‐SEP persons often lack health insurance or are underinsured, and the demands of co‐pays and non‐covered items (eg, glucose test strips) can lead to medication under use 8,9 .

Further, the lowest A1c (8.5% [SE 0.5]) was observed among participants who reported never counting carbohydrates, but T A B L E 1 Characteristics of SEARCH participants that completed two to three questionnaires on use of dietary strategies to manage diabetes over (mean) 5.5 years and provided a blood sample for analysis of hemoglobin A1c at the last follow-up visit (n = 1814) 17,18 and food insecurity 19 that are associated with higher A1c.…”

“…Overall, we note that A1c is higher than recommended in all participants, 2 regardless of self‐reported use of any particular dietary strategy. This highlights the need for additional glycemic control strategies in this population, such as intensification of therapy, or addressing social determinants of health like barriers to health care access 17,18 and food insecurity 19 that are associated with higher A1c.…”

“…The role of glycemic control in preventing the development and progression of complications has been proven in diabetes [35][36][37][38], with an especially strong relationship identified between intensive glycemic control and diabetic complications and mortality. In general, a target HbA 1c level of less than 7% is optimal, according to diabetes guidelines [14].…”
