In 2012, the U.S. Department of Agriculture found more than 49 million adults and children in the United States were food insecure. Food insecurity has been associated with increased prevalence and poor management of diabetes. Few studies have explored the lived experience of how food security impacts diabetes health outcomes among food insecure individuals in the United States. Also, this is the first study evaluating a three meal-a-day program consistent with the American Diabetes Act (ADA) nutritional guidelines to people living with diabetes.
