Legislative Issues

There are two laws that focus on North Carolinians with diabetes. One requires that diabetes supplies and education be covered by insurance (S.L. 1997-225). The other addresses school children with diabetes(S.L. 2002-103). North Carolina was among the first states to enact this legislation and continues to look for avenues to advocate for people with diabetes through the Diabetes Advisory Council.

More information about these programs and the N.C. Diabetes Prevention and Control Program is available on the web at www.ncdiabetes.org or by calling: 1-877-362-2678 or 919-707-5340
