I appreciate what Ms. Sidhu had to say; however, when it comes to the disability itself, I think there are a number of occasions where a person with diabetes has to take time off from work to attend doctor's appointments and treatments. If they get sick, they have to take time off from work.
There is a tremendous cost to diabetes beyond just the purchase of insulin or tests or those kinds of things. It's simply a friendly amendment to acknowledge that diabetes is a disease that requires a fair amount of time for the sufferer to be able to go forward.
The other challenge that we have is a problem that JDRF identified back in 2017. There are still challenges for people trying to get the DTC. This is a diabetes-specific issue, and I hope that we can all support this as it goes forward.
Thank you.
