Call to Action for All American Indian/Alaska Native People – What You Can Do

The diabetes funding provided by the U.S. Congress has made a significant impact on American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Your success stories are replacing the past stories of fear and suffering and inspiring hope across Indian country.

The Special Diabetes Program must be renewed by Congress. These dollars help American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) programs build a strong foundation for a diabetes-free future.

Champions like you have supported these successful programs and helped to continue this funding.
