H.R. 1402, the Catalyst to Better Diabetes Care Act of 2009, proposes several initiatives to improve diabetes screening, education, and data collection in the U.S. It would establish a diabetes screening and outreach program, an advisory group on employee wellness programs, and a national diabetes report card. It also aims to improve vital statistics collection and fund a study on appropriate levels of diabetes education for healthcare professionals. The bill seeks to help control the growing problem of diabetes and reduce its human and economic costs.
