Urging increased Federal funding for juvenile (Type 1)

Whereas over one million Americans suffer from juvenile 
(Type 1) diabetes, a chronic, genetically determined, de-
bilitating disease affecting every organ system; 
Whereas 13,000 children a year—35 each day—are diag-
nosed with juvenile diabetes; 
Whereas 17,000 adults a year—46 each day—are diagnosed 
with juvenile diabetes;
•HCON 107 IH 
Whereas juvenile diabetes is one of the most costly chronic 
diseases of childhood; 
Whereas insulin treats but does not cure this potentially 
deadly disease and does not prevent the complications of 
diabetes, which include blindness, heart attack, kidney 
failure, stroke, nerve damage, and amputations; 
Whereas the Diabetes Research Working Group, a non-
partisan advisory board established to advise Congress, 
has called for an accelerated and expanded diabetes re-
search program at the National Institutes of Health and 
has recommended a $4.1 billion increase in Federal fund-
ing for diabetes research at the National Institutes of 
Health over the next five years; and 
Whereas a strong public-private partnership to fund juvenile 
diabetes exists between the Federal Government and the 
Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, a foundation which has 
awarded more than $326 million for diabetes research 
since 1970 and will give $100 million in fiscal year 2001: 
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Federal funding for diabetes research 
should be increased in accordance with the recommenda-
tions of the Diabetes Research Working Group so that a 
cure for juvenile diabetes can be found.
