House Congressional Diabetes Caucus
Goals for the 110th Congress

• The mission of the Congressional Diabetes Caucus is to educate members of Congress and their Staffs about diabetes and to support legislative activities that would improve dibetes research, education and treatment.

• Urge relevant authorizing committees to support diabetes programs and patient care through letters and testimony.
  
  
• Hold informational events for Members and staff here in DC to increase awareness of the disease among Members.
  
  
• Ensure diabetes is adequately addressed in all relevant legislation and regulations.
  
  
• Continue to build House Congressional Diabetes Caucus into a sustainable, dynamic political force and informational clearinghouse by increasing membership and activities.
