Short Abstract:

We are writing to call your attention to the Special Diabetes Program, which is demonstrating real returns on a modest federal investment and has tremendous potential not only to reduce health care costs, but also to dramatically improve the lives of nearly 26 million Americans living with diabetes. We thank you for your past support of the program and hope that you will continue to ensure that investments are made in this critical program.
