American Diabetes Foundation Helps Bring In Research Money

Diabetes is one of the most devastating diseases that we deal with. In the U.S. alone, there are over sixteen million Americans with diabetes.

Approximately a third of them don’t even know it. And that is part of the charter that the American Diabetes Foundation group is helping to rectify.  A major focus of what the foundation does is to raise the awareness of diabetes to lawmakers in Washington, D.C. as well as to state governments. This has benefits to diabetes research in a couple of key ways.

One, the higher profile helps in the efforts to obtain funding to help find better treatments and, eventually, a cure. And two, part of this effort is also designed to help focus attention on the health care aspect of diabetes, to ensure that affordable health care is accessible to as many people as possible.
