Take Action
Save 504 Plans
Attorneys General from 17 states are suing the federal government to make Section 504 unconstitutional. 504 plans are a key protection ensuring that people with diabetes are not discriminated against in school, at hospitals, at work, or any other institution that accepts federal money. While you or your loved one may not consider diabetes a disability in your day to day life, the U.S. government considers all types of diabetes a disability. This means that all people with diabetes are legally protected against discrimination at school, work, and in healthcare settings.
Stop RFK Jr.’s Nomination to HHS
RFK Jr.'s nomination as HHS Secretary threatens public health due to his history of spreading medical misinformation and undermining evidence-based healthcare. With no relevant experience and a record of promoting conspiracy theories, his leadership would endanger the federal agencies responsible for medical research, healthcare access, and public health protection.
Hold Dexcom Accountable for Failed Adhesive
Dexcom's new CGM replacement policy puts profits over patients' lives. While 37.3 million Americans with diabetes rely on continuous glucose monitors to prevent life-threatening complications, Dexcom now limits replacements for failed sensors to just three per year. When their adhesive fails - during everyday activities like exercising or showering - patients must choose between paying $400 monthly for replacements or risking their health by going without this essential monitoring device. Despite their $4 billion annual revenue, Dexcom is forcing patients to bear the cost of their product failures, highlighting the urgent need for FDA intervention.
Support Affordable Insulin Legislation
America's insulin crisis has reached a breaking point. While this life-saving hormone costs just $3-7 to manufacture, prices have soared 1200% since 1996, forcing one in four insulin users to ration their medication – a dangerous gamble that can lead to blindness, organ failure, and death. Americans pay seven times more for insulin than other developed nations, with many spending up to 40% of their income just to stay alive. This isn't just a healthcare issue – it's a human rights crisis demanding immediate action.
