President’s Viewpoint

November is Diabetes Awareness Month, an important opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges facing over 37 million people who live with diabetes in the U.S. I am proud of the Endocrine Society’s work advocating for improved prevention, more research, greater access, and lower insulin costs, as well as our contributions to sharing the latest...
