William Tauzin: “As the gentleman knows, at this time, more than 1 million Americans have type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is a disease…”

On the recordJune 4, 2002
As the gentleman knows, at this time, more than 1 million Americans have type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is a disease which strikes children suddenly. It makes them insulin-dependent for life, and it carries a constant threat of life-threatening complications. Someone is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes every hour. This devastating disease also afflicts adult populations. Madam Speaker, I want to applaud the efforts of the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Green) to raise awareness about juvenile (type 1) diabetes and the need to find a cure for this disease. I ask my colleagues to support this very worthwhile resolution.
