Improvements in personal diabetes management continue to better the quality of life and care for millions of Americans. However, innovations in technologies like insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors are not equitably accessible, and disparities in race, education, income, and location can prevent some people with diabetes from receiving the care they need.

On November 4, The Hill's sits down with policymakers, advocates and healthcare professionals to explore how disparities in diabetes caregiving and technology access impact vulnerable communities amid evolving population demographics.

Featuring:

  • Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO), Chair, Diabetes Caucus
  • Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), Vice Chair, Diabetes Caucus
  • Patti LaBelle, Diabetes Patient Advocate
  • Dr. Ananta Addala, Pediatric Endocrinologist & Physician Scientist, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital; Instructor, Pediatrics - Endocrinology & Diabetes, Stanford Medicine
  • Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, Administrator, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
  • Dr. Sanjoy Dutta, Vice President of Research, JDRF
  • Dr. Gary Puckrein, President & CEO, National Minority Quality Forum
