Advocacy Action Alerts! Ask Congress to Support the INSULIN Act and SCREEN for T1D Act
Please sign up to be an Advocate and use our easy online tool to urge lawmakers to support important policy initiatives that benefit the T1D community:
- The INSULIN Act contains critical provisions that would make insulin more affordable for those who need it to survive. Urge your Senators to cosponsor this legislation.
- The SCREEN for T1D Act would increase awareness among the public and healthcare providers about the importance of T1D screening, helping avoid life-threatening complications and improve outcomes through early detection. Urge your members of Congress to cosponsor the SCREEN for T1D Act.
