Government Affairs & Advocacy
Advocacy plays an integral role in the Association's work to fulfill its mission. We fight for people with diabetes in Washington, DC, in state capitols and in our courts. Diabetes Advocates around the country fight to increase funding to prevent, treat and cure diabetes; improve access to health care and eliminate discrimination against people with diabetes at school, work and elsewhere in their lives.
 March 26, 2009 - A joint statement supporting health care reform that not only expands coverage, but fundamentally changes the way health care is delivered was issued by a coalition of health and consumer advocates.
 Prevent, Treat and Cure Diabetes
We need to increase federal funding for diabetes research, treatment and prevention. States also need to expand existing prevention, treatment and research efforts.
People with diabetes need access to affordable, quality health care. Learn more about health insurance for people with diabetes and the about the Association's position on health reform.
The Association fights to end the discrimination that people with diabetes face workplaces, day care centers, schools, correctional institutions, or places of public accommodation.
