- Support ongoing funding of the CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program and address barriers to success
- Address barriers to the success of the CMS Innovation Center’s Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program expanded model test
- Advocate for coverage of diabetes prevention programs and behavioral therapies for people with prediabetes and obesity
- Educate about access to the full continuum of care to treat obesity as another tool to address diabetes prevention
