Policy Advocacy

Advocating for Better Diabetes Care for All

Driving policy changes to ensure
equitable healthcare access.

At the American Diabetes Society, we understand that systemic change is crucial for reducing the burden of diabetes. That’s why we engage with policymakers and stakeholders at every level—local, national, and global—to promote diabetes prevention, management, and equitable care.

By advocating for expanded insurance coverage, increased access to nutritional counseling, and public awareness about diabetes, we are creating a more inclusive healthcare landscape. These efforts are designed to ensure that everyone affected by diabetes has access to the tools and support they need to thrive.

Key Initiatives

Lobbying for Policy Change

We work closely with legislators and government agencies to champion policies that improve diabetes care and prevention. Our advocacy focuses on ensuring affordable access to essential medical services, nutritional education, and community support for those living with or at risk of diabetes.

Key Initiatives

Promoting Awareness Campaigns

Through targeted campaigns, we educate the public about the importance of diabetes prevention and management. These campaigns aim to shift perceptions, highlight the preventable nature of type 2 diabetes, and emphasize the role of lifestyle changes in improving health outcomes.

Key Initiatives

Collaborating with Organizations

Partnerships amplify our impact. We join forces with healthcare organizations, community groups, and other nonprofits to strengthen our collective voice. Together, we advocate for policies that prioritize prevention, treatment, and research funding for diabetes.

Our Impact

Our policy advocacy efforts have already made a tangible difference. Increased funding for diabetes prevention and management programs has expanded access to care for thousands of individuals. Improved healthcare policies have also paved the way for broader insurance coverage, making essential services like nutritional counseling more accessible.

But our work is far from over. With your support, we can continue to drive meaningful policy changes, ensuring that everyone affected by diabetes has the resources and care they deserve. Together, we can create a future where no one is left behind.
