Food Insecurity in War and Its Impact on Patients with Diabetes

War disrupts nearly every determinant of health, but its effects on nutrition and chronic disease management are particularly devastating . Among people living with diabetes, adequate and regular food intake is not a secondary need but a fundamental component of treatment . Glycemic control depends not only on medication adherence, but also on predictable meal patterns, balanced nutrient intake, and stable living conditions . In conflict-affected settings, however, these basic requirements are often impossible to maintain. As a result, food insecurity in war becomes a major barrier to diabetes self-management and a serious threat to patient safety .
