WORLD DIABETES DAY: Diabetes during the life course (International Workshop).
World Diabetes Day is commemorated every November of the year. It is a global awareness campaign focusing on diabetes education, prevention, and management. The event was created in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization (WHO). It highlights the escalating health threat posed by diabetes, which affects millions of people worldwide. The date honors Sir Frederick Banting, who co-discovered insulin in 1922, a breakthrough in diabetes treatment. Each year, World Diabetes Day centers on a specific theme, such as access to care, lifestyle changes, or the importance of education, to enhance public understanding of diabetes and encourage action towards better health and support for those living with the condition. This year’s theme does not differ much; it is centered around reinforcing the commitment to reducing the risk of diabetes and ensuring that everyone diagnosed has access to comprehensive, equitable, and high-quality care.
