Welcome to the ADA's new Diabetes Advocacy Insider newsletter. This email
replaces many of the alert and update messages you have received in the past
on legislation and issues impacting people living with diabetes. Our goal
with this communication is to keep you informed and give you a voice in the
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.

When the U.S. House and Senate convened in January, they included 100 new
members. ADA staff will meet with all these new senators and representatives
to make sure diabetes is a top priority on Capitol Hill. Interested in these

pediatrician who lives with type 1 diabetes? Read on for more information.

Health Insurance Plans

Each year, the federal government releases rules for health insurers to
follow for plans they sell to individuals. This can impact you and the
millions of people with diabetes-learn more about ADA's plan to address the
rules.

Insulin Affordability icon

Insulin Update

A new FDA proposal would update the definition of biologic medications. This
could include insulin, which has been historically regulated as a drug and
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
<http://advocacy.diabetes.org/site/R?i=VxJNdmdNFSQCMe1BusKHBA> study.

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.
