I also want to continue to work with my colleagues in Congress to address juvenile diabetes because it can be prevented at an early stage with just testing, care, and increased funding for additional research as the number of cases continues to steadily increase. Again, I am honored to observe November as American Diabetes Month, and I am hopeful with an increased awareness of this devastating disease that we can save more people from being diagnosed with diabetes. We can lick this. There is a cure. All we have to do is put it as the priority it needs to be, and we will save lives, millions of lives. I certainly appreciate and commend Mr. Pallone and the gentlelady from Colorado (Ms. DeGette) for authoring this important resolution.
