Special Diabetes Program Reauthorization Act of 2025

# Special Diabetes Program Reauthorization Act of 2025 - Summary **What It Does** This bill would reauthorize the Special Diabetes Program, a federal initiative that funds diabetes research and provides grants to improve diabetes care and prevention efforts. By reauthorizing the program, Congress would continue its funding and operations beyond their current expiration date, ensuring ongoing support for research institutions, healthcare providers, and community organizations working on diabetes-related issues. **Who It Affects** The bill would benefit researchers studying diabetes, healthcare facilities providing diabetes care and education, patients with diabetes, and communities with high rates of diabetes—particularly Native American tribes, which have historically received funding under this program.

The bill affects federal budget allocations for health programs. **Current Status** As of now, HR 5461 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Diana DeGette (D-Colorado) in the 119th Congress.
