Clamor for additional funding.
Diabetes is a major problem in today’s world. In USA alone, millions of Americans have this disease/ailment (all types of diabetes).
Last month, more than 200 volunteers marched to Washington to lobby for an increase in the federal funding for diabetes research. The lobbyists include advocates from the American Diabetes Association (ADA), victims of diabetes (diagnosed with type I or type 2), family members of the victims, legal personnel and so on and so forth. Aside from the additional funding, they also wish to lobby an anti-discrimination bill in Congress against those who discriminate diabetic patients (especially those who have had amputations).
