Heal The FDA

The diabetes community is trying to get the attention of the FDA, and this is your chance to help! There is currently a petition to the FDA for a Diabetes Advisory Council. According to the petition:

"We urge the new FDA leadership to recognize the urgent need for more safe and effective treatment options for diabetes and to reduce barriers to innovation. More treatment options will benefit patients. The disease is progressive. Delays in the availability of new treatments will only result in tremendous cost to public health and the economy. Our recommendation can benefit patients without sacrificing their safety."

If you would like to lend your support to this effort, get involved! Sign the petition!
