Abstract
Introduction
Whereas marginal food insecurity (FI) has been recognized as important in Canadian food security policy, the category of marginal food security (MFS) is often ignored in US food security research.
Methods
Prevalence of FI was estimated according to the conventional and an alternate classification of MFS with FI among 938 youth and young adults (YYA) with youth-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) and 156 with youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) from the SEARCH Food Security Cohort Study (2018–2021). Multivariable regression was used to estimate the association of MFS and conventionally defined FI ascertained with diabetes-related outcomes, including acute diabetes complications, health-care utilization, and diabetes self-management among YYA with T1D.
Results
MFS affected 10% of participants with T1D and 20% of participants with T2D. Classifying MFS with FI increased FI prevalence from 18.0% to 27.8% in participants with T1D and 34.6% to 55.1% in participants with T2D. Compared to T1D with high food security, YYA with T1D who were experiencing FI had higher odds of hypoglycemia (2.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.2 to 3.6) and ketoacidosis (1.6, 95% CI 1.0 to 2.6), but no association was seen in MFS. The FI group also had higher odds of emergency department use and hospitalization (2.3, 95% CI 1.5 to 3.4; 2.4, 95% CI 1.5 to 3.9) and lower odds of technology use and checking glucose (0.6, 95% CI 0.4 to 0.9; 0.3, 95% CI 0.1 to 0.6). The MFS group exhibited associations of similar directions.
Conclusion
Health-care providers should consider care of individuals with T1D and MFS in the same way as care for those with FI.
