In the authors' setting, this food insecurity program has subsequently led to a more formal screening process to evaluate and identify food insecure patients. The authors discuss the scheduling difficulties they experienced from the COVID-19 pandemic for their sample patients. However, these pilot results suggest that prolonged benefits may require ongoing "virtual" teaching sessions with pre-diabetic patients to address the complex factors influencing food insecurity levels identified in similar inner-city settings.
