I’ve visited Washington DC several times with the ADA to advocate for increased spending on diabetes research. I believe about this strongly since I’ve had Type 1 diabetes for over 30 years and I’ve clearly benefitted from past research.
This proposed budget is BAD NEWS for those with diabetes. The president is short changing important medical research and everyone, with or without diabetes, will pay for this as the incidence of diabetes and other diseases continues to increase.
If you’re reading this, please contact your representative and ask them to oppose this budget unless there is a significant INCREASE in funding for medical research. -
Gee, I’m not talking about research money here at all — or even money for diabetes research. What I was talking about was the Medical Device approval process.
And there only so many dollars that need to go for so many things. In my book, and yes, I’m a diabetic, money towards defense and education go much further than money towards medical research and that’s where I want my dollars to go first.
And by further, I mean, benefit more people.
But that is NOT the purpose of my blog.
