Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals food insecurity and stress affect glycemic indices and health outcomes in Haitian Americans with Type 2 diabetes.

Key Points

  • Elevated food insecurity linked to poorer glycemic control, highlighting serious implications for management.
  • Mean HbA1c of 58 mmol/mol (7.5%) among 59 participants indicates significant health concerns in this demographic.
  • Assessment using continuous glucose monitors to evaluate glycemic indices among foreign-born Haitian Americans shows feasibility.
  • Addressing social determinants of health like race-related stress is critical for improving health outcomes.
