New national campaign would help Americans learn about Type 1 diabetes screening and early detection.

This bill would create a national campaign to help everyday Americans and healthcare providers learn about Type 1 diabetes. It aims to raise awareness of how to find, screen for, and manage the condition early. This could lead to people at risk getting diagnosed sooner. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) would run this campaign.

What Would Change

Today, there is no specific national campaign to help people learn about finding, screening for, and handling Type 1 diabetes. This bill would create a proven national campaign, led by the CDC, to teach both healthcare providers and the public more about the condition. It would also set aside $5 million each year for five years (budget years 2027-2031) to pay for this campaign.

Key Provisions

Creates a national public awareness campaign for Type 1 diabetes finding, screening, and handling.

Provides culturally and language-appropriate resources for communities most affected by Type 1 diabetes.
Distributes information to healthcare providers, public health departments, and schools.
The national campaign would be carried out through grants or partnerships with experienced private, nonprofit groups.
Sets aside $5 million each year from 2027 through 2031 to pay for the campaign.
