A resolution designating November 2025 as "American Diabetes Month".
Summary
S.Res. 514 is a non-binding resolution that proposes to officially designate November 2025 as American Diabetes Month. This designation aims to increase public awareness and recognition of diabetes as a significant health issue affecting millions of Americans.
As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a symbolic statement from Congress recognizing the importance of diabetes awareness and education during the designated month. Such resolutions typically encourage public health organizations, healthcare providers, and citizens to focus attention on diabetes prevention, management, and support for those living with the condition.
The resolution was introduced by Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) in November 2025 and remains in the early stages of the legislative process. Most introduced bills and resolutions do not advance further in Congress.
