Overview:
The American Diabetes Association's 2016 Standards of Care identifies tailoring treatment in vulnerable populations experiencing "food insecurity" to optimize patient outcomes. Food insecurity – defined as a person's inability to consistently access nutritious foods – presents numerous challenges to diabetes care, self-management, and education strategies. This session provides an in-depth look at food insecurity and reviews the evidence base on how food insecurity impacts chronic disease risk and management. Significant attention is given to help clinicians tailor diabetes treatment and DSME messages to patients who face food insecurity.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of this presentation, the participant will be able to:
• Define food insecurity and describe the role food insecurity plays in chronic disease development and management.
• Describe Feeding America's diabetes initiatives and the background and research on food insecurity screening.
• Describe and implement food insecurity screeners, clinical tools, and resources to mitigate food insecurity in low-income patient populations
