World Diabetes Day 2023- November 14

Current Context: World Diabetes Day 2023 will be celebrated on November 14, 2023. The focus is on the prevention of type 2 diabetes and diabetes-related complications.

The theme for the final year of World Diabetes Day 2021-23 is "Access to Diabetes Care”.
This day was established in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation with support from WHO in response to growing concerns about the health and economic threat posed by diabetes.
It became an official UN day in 2006.
The campaign encourages everyone to know their risk of type 2 diabetes and what to do to support prevention, early diagnosis, and timely treatment.
You can get involved in various ways, such as sending a letter to your national health minister or Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva using their online tool.
