How to Help
Our Priorities
Diabetes affects the lives of nearly 24 million children and adults in this country and another 57 million with pre-diabetes. If current trends continue, one in three children will face a future with diabetes. It’s a tragedy that doesn’t have to happen. By working with Congress and State Legislators, we can stop the diabetes epidemic in America.
Access to Health Care
We are committed to expanding the number of people with diabetes who have insurance, and to ensuring that coverage is adequate, affordable and available.
Funding for Research and Programs
We are working to increase funding for diabetes research and programs at the federal and state levels.
Eliminating Discrimination
We are committed to ending discrimination against children and adults with diabetes by providing information and assistance to people with diabetes and their advocates.
Prevention
We are committed to supporting efforts to prevent diabetes and its complications.
Disparities
We support legislation with the goal of eliminating health disparities and improving diabetes research, treatment and education in minority populations.
