"On behalf of the Endocrine Society, the world’s largest professional organization of endocrinologists, I am writing to urge you to work with the administration to restore appropriated funding to the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and DPP Outcomes Study that is funded through the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This research, which is being conducted at 30 institutions in 21 states, impacts the over 100 million Americans living with diabetes or prediabetes, including over half of all Americans over the age of 65."
