Special Diabetes Program (SDP)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The House Energy & Commerce Committee\u00a0approved a renewal of the Special Diabetes Program<\/a> (SDP) at $170 million for two years, plus an additional 3 months to renew the program until December 2025.\u00a0Of course, this is just a first step, and it will still need to come to the House floor for a vote.<\/p>\n

Children\u2019s Congress<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Breakthrough T1D 2023 Children\u2019s Congress will take place from July 9 \u2013 11, 2023, in Washington, D.C. \u00a0Every two years, more than 160 children living with type 1 diabetes<\/a> (T1D) gather in Washington, D.C., to meet face-to-face with some of the top decision-makers in the U.S. government. The children represent all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The Delegates in Breakthrough T1D\u2019s Children\u2019s Congress<\/a> enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help Members of Congress understand what life with T1D is like and why research to fund life-changing therapies until a cure<\/a> can be found is so critical. They speak up on behalf of the millions of people living with T1D and the families and friends who love them.<\/p>\n

iLet\u00ae\u00a0Insulin-Only Bionic Pancreas System <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)\u00a0cleared the iLet\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Insulin-Only Bionic Pancreas System, which is designed to autonomously determine and deliver insulin doses to control blood-sugar levels, for people 6 years of age and older with type 1 diabetes (T1D).<\/p>\n
