NEW: Findings published in @ADA_Pubs: Predictors of long-term retention of #DPPOS participants, led by @AshleyHTjaden

[Ashley Hogan Tjaden @AshleyHTjaden]

@drdaven1 Yes! Many hypotheses for the rise of dementia (aging pop, lifestyle, nutrition, air pollution). Longitudinal data and stored samples will let us look at changes over 30y in markers of metabolic & cognitive health to better understand the root causes of dementia.

“Every day that goes by without funding, our valuable staff at our 30 centers are lost and the rent for research space and the cost of supplies are lost; the study begins to dissolve." - Dr. D. Nathan re the #NIH -funded #Diabetes Prevention Program https://t.co/eGKX0vCnkA

[Endocrine Today @EndocrineToday]

🚨 On March 10, investigators with the Diabetes Prevention Program learned that their funding for DPPOS-4 had been terminated.

Now, the #diabetes community is rallying to try and get funding restored.

Advocacy in Action | The administration has cancelled all @NIH funding for the Diabetes Prevention Program. We are concerned with how the loss of this research will impact tens of millions of people with T2D and prediabetes nationwide. Read more: https://t.co/fjEsWflk5n

Today on Capitol Hill, we shared our concerns about threats to Medicaid, Diabetes Prevention Program research, and accommodations in schools.

Thank you so much @timkaine, @congressmankean, @mcconnellpress, @lisamurkowski and @repdavid for your time!

📣 “We can’t find alternative sources of funding to support our staff for more than a week or 2 weeks. This is really urgent.”

The future of the Diabetes Prevention Program is in doubt after it funding for DPPOS-4.

Diabetes Prevention Program Cancellation a ‘Colossal Waste’ https://t.co/ldSO7zrfUw #DOGE #DPP #DPPOS #diabetes

[Endocrine Today @EndocrineToday]

📰 Organizations such as @AmDiabetesAssn and @TheEndoSociety are advocating for government officials to restore NIH funding for the Diabetes Prevention Program.

Hear from chair David Nathan, MD, about why the program’s research is crucial.

[MedPage Today @medpagetoday]

@TheEndoSociety and @AmDiabetesAssn condemned the cancellation of funding for the ongoing, landmark Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), which has been tracking individuals with diabetes and prediabetes for 30 years.

Restore the Diabetes Prevention Program | It is important to understand that the bulk of the funding is spread across 30 institutions in 21 states. It’s imperative that every senator and representative is contacted about the urgency of saving this program. Join our campaign: https://t.co/fsFdQeEaxK

The tragic termination of the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study https://t.co/g8PLw0WdoO via @sciencebasedmed

[Mary Kirst @marykirst]

RFK ended the 30 year diabetes prevention program which showed that lifestyle changes can reduce the threat of type 2 diabetes by 58%. As the study participants have gotten older the risk factors for dementia related to lifestyle choices has been studied.

@drdaven1 This type of longitudinal study is rare & only study design to determine the impact of preventative interventions & root causes of chronic diseases. If decision is not reversed, it will undermine our best opportunity to uncover the root cause of Alzheimer’s and Dementia!

[Ashley Hogan Tjaden @AshleyHTjaden]

@drdaven1 DPPOS is the long-term follow up of the original cohort, and is currently studying Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia, in addition to continuing to study the long-term effects of diabetes prevention on other health conditions such as cancer, CVD, kidney disease, etc.

[Ashley Hogan Tjaden @AshleyHTjaden]

@iamlizolson @VPrasadMDMPH Unless the funding decision is immediately reversed, the infrastructure for this important project will collapse undermining our nation’s best opportunity to uncover the root cause of Alzheimer’s and Dementia, waste taxpayer’s $$, and work against the Admin’s stated goal of MAHA.

[Ashley Hogan Tjaden @AshleyHTjaden]

@iamlizolson @VPrasadMDMPH DPPOS is a continuation of the DPP study and has followed 1700 of the original participants for almost 30 years. This type of longitudinal study is rare and is the only study design that can determine the impact of preventative interventions and root causes of chronic diseases.
