For adults with diabetes mellitus, unmet material needs are associated with poor diabetes control and increased health care resource use, according to a study published online Dec. 29 in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Seth A. Berkowitz, M.D., M.P.H., from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and colleagues examined the correlation between material need insecurities and diabetes mellitus control and use of health care resources. Cross-sectional data were collected for a random sample of 411 adults (aged 21 years or older) with diabetes mellitus.
