|---|
| 12 | 12 | | Relating to: proclaiming November 2023 to be Diabetes Awareness Month in |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | Wisconsin. |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | Whereas, November has been established nationally as Diabetes Awareness |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | Month by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the American Diabetes |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | Association, and others; and |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | Whereas, diabetes is a chronic disease for which there is currently no known |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | cure and is the eighth-leading cause of death in the United States; and |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | Whereas, individuals with type 1 diabetes cannot produce any of their own |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | insulin or amylin, hormones needed to help regulate sugar and food stores in the |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | body; and |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | Whereas, individuals with type 1 diabetes are dependent on artificial, injected |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | insulin; and |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | Whereas, individuals with type 2 diabetes, or adult-onset diabetes, experience |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | resistance to their own insulin or amylin and often do not exhibit symptoms in the |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | early stages of the disease; and |

|---|
| 44 | 44 | | 2023 - 2024 Legislature |
|---|
| 45 | 45 | | Whereas, there is a lack of understanding of other types of diabetes, including |
|---|
| 46 | 46 | | gestational diabetes, latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, monogenic diabetes, |
|---|
| 47 | 47 | | and others; and |
|---|
| 48 | 48 | | Whereas, the United States is experiencing an insulin pricing crisis, with one |
|---|
| 49 | 49 | | in four individuals with type 1 diabetes reporting they ration insulin; and |
|---|
| 50 | 50 | | Whereas, other supplies for monitoring diabetes, including glucometers, |
|---|
| 51 | 51 | | continuous glucose monitors, and insulin pumps, continue to rise in price; and |
|---|
| 52 | 52 | | Whereas, these increasing prices have created barriers to receiving proper |
|---|
| 53 | 53 | | medical care and achieving healthy control of blood glucose levels; and |
|---|
| 54 | 54 | | Whereas, the serious long-term complications of uncontrolled glucose levels |
|---|
| 55 | 55 | | may include blindness, lower extremity amputation, heart disease, kidney failure, |
|---|
| 56 | 56 | | and premature death; and |
|---|
| 57 | 57 | | Whereas, Wisconsin and the United States are facing a diabetes epidemic, with |
|---|
| 58 | 58 | | the most recent statistics indicating over 541,000 individuals in Wisconsin are |
|---|
| 59 | 59 | | currently living with the disease; and |
|---|
| 60 | 60 | | Whereas, the keys to reducing the incidence of type 2 diabetes and the |
|---|
| 61 | 61 | | complications associated with all forms of diabetes are education, early detection, |
|---|
| 62 | 62 | | control, proper treatment, and continued research; and |
|---|
| 63 | 63 | | Whereas, the earlier a person is diagnosed with diabetes and receives |
|---|
| 64 | 64 | | treatment, the better the person's chances are for avoiding diabetes complications; |
|---|
| 65 | 65 | | and |
|---|
| 66 | 66 | | Whereas, increased awareness of the symptoms and complications of diabetes |
|---|
| 67 | 67 | | will promote improved health outcomes for individuals living with diabetes; now, |
