Advocacy is the act or process of helping others.
Our collective goal is to see diabetes is cured and until that time,
people with diabetes live as healthy and rich a life as possible.
We each work to achieve that goal in different ways.
You can help or find help through the following groups or activities:
Act Now.
The Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition (DPAC) is an alliance of people with diabetes, caregivers, patient advocates, health professionals, disease organizations, and companies working collaboratively to promote and support public policy initiatives to improve the health of people with diabetes.
ADA’s Advocacy Center advocacy efforts include supporting government funding for diabetes research and programs, ensuring access to health care, promoting the prevention of type 2 diabetes, combatting discrimination, and much more.
JDRF Advocates help build and sustain critical support for type 1 diabetes (T1D) research funded by the Federal Government by raising awareness among Members of Congress of the financial, medical, and emotional costs of the disease.
