“…8,[32][33][34] The association between food insecurity and diabetes may also stem from the cyclic nature of food insecurity, either because of monthly paychecks, monthly Food Stamp Program assistance, or periodic, unforeseen competing needs. 2,35,36 Individuals with episodic underconsumption may overcompensate during times of relative food adequacy resulting in binge-fast cycles. 37,38 This pattern of dietary intake has also been linked to insulin resistance.…”

One in seven US households cannot reliably afford food. Food budgets are more frequently exhausted at the end of a month than at other points in time. We postulated that this monthly pattern influenced health outcomes, such as risk for hypoglycemia among people with diabetes. Using administrative data on inpatient admissions in California for 2000–08, we found that admissions for hypoglycemia were more common in the low-income than the high-income population (270 versus 210 admissions per 1,000,000). Risk for hypoglycemia admission increased 27 percent in the last week of the month compared to the first week in the low-income population, but we observed no similar temporal variation in the high-income population. These findings suggest that exhaustion of food budgets might be an important driver of health inequities. Policy solutions to improve stable access to nutrition in low-income populations and raise awareness of the health risks of food insecurity might be warranted.

“…Another limitation is the 1-time assessment of food insecurity, given that food security status varies over time, both within a month and over longer periods of time (25). The duration and pattern of exposure to food insecurity may be a predictor of the associated health consequences.…”

IntroductionFood insecurity is associated with diet-sensitive diseases and may be a barrier to successful chronic disease self-management. To evaluate the impact of food insecurity on blood pressure reduction in a pilot clinical trial, we tested the effectiveness of 2 behavioral interventions for hypertension in people with and without food security.MethodsA group of 28 men and women with type 2 diabetes and uncontrolled hypertension were randomized to either 1) home blood pressure telemonitoring alone or 2) home blood pressure telemonitoring plus telephone-based nurse case management. The primary outcome was 6-month change in systolic blood pressure.ResultsThe 2 interventions resulted in modest, nonsignificant blood pressure reductions. Food-secure patients experienced clinically and statistically significant reductions in blood pressure, whereas no significant change was seen among food-insecure patients.ConclusionScreening for food insecurity may help identify patients in need of tailored disease management interventions.
