R&B superstar Usher visited the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday to discuss diabetes treatments and screening for Type 1 diabetes with lawmakers, including Sen. Raphael Warnock. Usher's visit, which included meetings with pharmaceutical executives, aimed to raise awareness about the importance of early detection and the high costs of insulin. He also met with House Minority Leader Jeffries and members of the Congressional Diabetes Caucus, such as Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Rep. Diana DeGette. Additionally, ESPN's Adam Schefter and lawmakers Rep. John Joyce and Rep. Lori Trahan were involved in discussions about Type 1 diabetes. Usher's advocacy comes a week after meeting with Apple CEO Tim Cook to discuss similar topics.

I’m so glad @Usher could stop by my office to talk about the importance of screening for Type 1 diabetes.
