For the study, the researchers used data collected from June 2012 through October 2013 from 411 people with diabetes at clinics and health centers in Massachusetts.Massachusetts expanded healthcare access years before the rest of the country.“夏 think what we’re looking at in Massachusetts is where the rest of the country will be in a few years,” Berkowitz said.Most of the participants had insurance, about 46 percent of the participants had uncontrolled diabetes and about 40 percent reported some sort of inability to get food, medicine or other necessities. Specifically, about 28 percent reported not taking their medicines because they couldn’t afford the drugs. About 14 percent said they couldn’t pay their utility bills, about 20 percent said they didn’t have reliable access to food and about 11 percent said their housing situation wasn’t stable.Food and medication insecurities were tied to poor control over diabetes, the researchers found.For example, about 64 percent of those who reported an unstable food supply had uncontrolled diabetes, compared to about 42 percent of those with food security.While housing and energy insecurities were not tied to worse diabetes control, the study found that people with an overall greater number of insecurities had greater odds of being less in control of their diabetes.
