World Diabetes Day 14 November

The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization (WHO)started World Diabetes Day in 1991 in response to the escalating health threat posed by diabetes. Since then it has grown to become a globally celebrated event and an official United Nations (UN) awareness day. It is now the world’s largest diabetes awareness campaign.

The aims are to be a leading platform to promote diabetes advocacy efforts; to promote the importance of taking coordinated and concerted actions to confront diabetes as a serious global threat; and to draw attention to the key issues and keep diabetes firmly in the global public and political spotlight.
