Help Americans Living with Diabetes During the COVID-19 Crisis
Make Your Voice Heard
People with diabetes face a higher risk of developing serious complications, and even dying, if they get COVID-19. And for those in low-income and minority communities, the COVID-19 pandemic poses an even greater threat. The reality is, those most at-risk for COVID-19 are getting the least resources. That’s why we’re fighting to bring testing into the communities at highest risk, so we can ensure that COVID-19 tests reach everyone in need. But we need your help. Visit our Engagement Platform—there, you’ll find simple ways to tell Congress to provide the means to bring tests directly into at-risk communities in the next COVID-19 relief legislation. COVID-19 isn’t stopping and neither are we. Make your voice heard today.

Recalculating Our Relationship with Sweet Tastes
Research Funding at Work
With the help of a grant from ADA, sensory nutritionist M. Yanina Pepino, PhD, is investigating if low- and no-calorie sweeteners play a role in promoting diabetes. An expert on taste and metabolism who’s spent more than a decade exploring the science of artificial sweeteners, Pepino admits the science is new—and confusing.
