U.S.Reps. Diana DeGette (D-CO) and Tom Reed (R-NY),co-chairs of theCongressionalDiabetes Caucus, introduced a bipartisan resolution today recognizing November as American Diabetes Month.\nMore than 30 million Americans have diabetes, and twice as many more are likely prediabetic, DeGette said. We, as a nation, can and must do more to help prevent and treat this disease  and that includes raising awareness throughout the country about who is most at risk, the symptoms they should look out for and the importance of early detection.\nAccording to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 34.2 million Americans have diabetes, while an estimated 88 million more are likely prediabetic.\nThe resolution  cosponsored by fellow Diabetes Caucus members Reps. Raul Ruiz (D-CA), Mike Kelly (R-PA), Susan DelBene (D-WA) and Susan Brooks (R-IN)  seeks to increase public awareness of the prevention and treatment options available.\nIt also seeks to reemphasize the importance of early detection when it comes to treating the disease and calls on Congress to address the barriers to health care that are leaving some of the most vulnerable communities at an increased risk of developing the disease.\nA copy of the resolution is availablehere.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://degette.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/degette-introduces-resolution-recognizing-november-as-american-diabetes"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3509751297533512, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
