We are thrilled to announce that we've made diabetes advocacy even easier with the launch of the DPAC App.
You're Busy. We get that.
Many of us have to focus on diabetes daily management on top of jobs and family. Diabetes policy advocacy may not be a top priority for you - and we get that. The Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition helps our community by doing the work for you: researching the issues and bills, finding your representatives, even writing emails that you can quickly send to your representatives. Now there's an App for that.
