World Diabetes Day

Diabetes education and prevention has been the focus of the World Diabetes Day since the last few years. The theme selected by the campaigners has brought about immense changes in the way Diabetes was treated in the society. A day introduced since 2009, concentrates on the preventive tools for a growing disease that affects even the juveniles. World Diabetes Day is celebrated throughout the world on November 14 to mark the advances and progress in treating Diabetes and prevention since an early age. The disparity in accessibility to insulin treatments in several parts of the Third World Countries remains the highlight even today.

Campaigners for World Diabetes Day have come together for introducing efforts to sustain the excessive spread of the disease. The main goal however remains the detection of Diabetes and awareness among the adults. The deficit in knowledge has led to the increase in number of victims at least two-folds. The joint initiatives of the World Health Organization, International Diabetes Federation, and United Nations have given the world a platform to discuss the ill effects. The campaigns on this day welcome people from all lifestyles. United for Diabetes Campaign is the slogan for the day.

If you are planning for India travel during November, you can be part of the initiative too by joining the rallies in the major cities of the country.

International World Diabetes Day marks the birth anniversary of Frederick Banting who coined insulin, as the premier treatment for the disease. The street campaign over the years has concentrated on topics related to diabetes and its affect to human lifestyles. There are various charitable programs to help the diabetes affected children and adolescents. Workshops are held in many cities of India to spread awareness among the parents and adults. The United Nations World Diabetes Day Resolution in December 2006 became a landmark effort to highlight a medical issue that has engulfed the modern society of late.
