Food Deserts. The 2008 Farm Xxxx prompted the USDA to study geographical access to food throughout the United States (United States Department of Agriculture, 2009). The Farm Xxxx defined a new term, “food deserts,” to mean that there is “limited access to affordable and nutritious food, particularly such an area composed of predominantly lower income neighborhoods and communities.” Food deserts were originally defined as “living far from a supermarket, where 1 mile was used in urban areas and 10 miles were used in rural areas” ("Definitions,"). Low-income census tracts and access to vehicles are sometimes included in food desert analysis. Increased access to supermarkets, rather than convenience stores, usually results in healthier diets (Xxxxxx, Story, & Xxxxxx, 2009). In urban areas, neighborhood disparities can manifest themselves in the form of negative health outcomes. Type two diabetes can make management of food insecurity much more difficult. Food insecure individuals have poorer self-reported diabetes self-efficacy (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2016). There is little research done on the prevalence of food insecurity within a population of type two diabetic patients. In 2014, 1/3 food insecure households had a person in the household with diabetes ("Feeding America's Response to Diabetes and Food Insecurity," 2015). Households that are food secure spend a median of $45/person on food each week. In comparison, food insecure households spend $35/person (Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxxxx, 2010). This expenditure deficit makes it difficult to prioritize “diabetic friendly” foods such as vegetables, fruits, and protein, and much easier to spend it on inexpensive and easily accessible foods, which are usually highly processed and carbohydrate-rich. Research has only just begun to incorporate food insecurity variables into datasets. One study of food insecurity found a national prevalence of 42.7% (n=16,651) (Kushel, Gupta, Gee, & Xxxx, 2006). This is much higher than the national prevalence of food insecurity because this population (n=16,651) was only low-income adults. Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), Xxxxxx et. al found that 6% of adults with diabetes self-reported as food insufficient, which translates to represent over 568,600 Americans (95% CI, 369,400- 768,800) (Nelson, Cunningham, Andersen, Harrison, & Xxxxxxx, 2001). Another NHANES study found that among subjects who had a self-reported diagnosis of diabetes (n=428), 8.1% of them were...
