Ask FDA to Better Serve Diabetes Patient Needs

Please read this petition, sign it and tell as many other people about it as you can:
www.HealTheFDA.com

"We urge the new FDA leadership to recognize the urgent need for more safe and effective treatment options for diabetes and to reduce barriers to innovation. More treatment options will benefit patients. The disease is progressive. Delays in the availability of new treatments will only result in tremendous cost to public health and the economy. Our recommendation can benefit patients without sacrificing their safety."
