Presidential Message on National Diabetes Month

Key Points

• The message spotlights diabetes as a growing crisis, especially in kids, and urges early testing and healthier habits.
• The White House says it is backing research and new ideas to prevent diseases that start in childhood and lead to diabetes later.
• Many seniors already see insulin copays capped at $35, which can lower monthly costs if their plan qualifies.
• A recent order aims to cut insulin prices to about $0.03 plus a small fee for low‑income people and the uninsured who qualify.
• This is a public message, not a new law, but it signals a push for healthier food, more activity, and cheaper medicine.
