Can You Manage Diabetes While Facing Food Insecurity?

Managing diabetes while facing food insecurity can feel overwhelming.

During National Diabetes Awareness Month, we’re discussing this intersection. Managing diabetes is tougher when access to healthy food isn’t always possible.

Second Harvest is here to help.

Larry, an older man managing diabetes while facing food insecurity, sits in the driver’s seat of his car. Larry relies on support from Second Harvest to access healthy, low-sugar foods, which help him manage his condition.

Larry struggles to keep his diabetes in check. After a stroke related to his diabetes, he could no longer work. That also means he has no health insurance to cover his insulin.

Thankfully, Second Harvest provides vegetables and other low-sugar options. These foods help him keep his A1C low.

Second Harvest supports Larry when he needs it most.

We’ve also created diabetic tray packs to help. Each pack includes low-sugar, low-sodium foods. These foods make managing diabetes easier and more affordable.

We believe in food for today and food for tomorrow. With your help, we’re meeting immediate needs while supporting long-term health. Let’s work together to make a healthier future for everyone.
