critical advocacy work and happenings in Washington D.C. and across the
nation-from federal research and programs, to health care, to insulin
affordability, and more. Read on for Advocacy highlights and ways you can
take action to make a difference for people affected by diabetes.

Insulin Update

A new FDA proposal would update the definition of biologic medications. This

not a biologic. Read more about what this change could mean.

Glucose Meters and Test Strip Update

The FDA has updated its guidance on glucose meters and test strips. ADA
supports this effort to ensure accuracy and reliability especially in light
of a troubling recent

Medicare Medication Proposal

Medication coverage may change and ADA submitted comments supported some
positive changes like a co-pay tool. However, ADA raised concerns about
plans to require prior authorization for more medications.
