World Diabetes Day is held annually on 14th November as recognition of the discovery of insulin on this date. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) have announced that this year's focus will be on well-being and they encourage everyone involved in the diabetes community to join in activities for the day to raise awareness.
World Diabetes Day is a global occasion for people with diabetes, healthcare professionals, advocates, policymakers and the public to unite to raise awareness of and take action on diabetes.
One way to get involved is through sharing your #DiabetesLife story on social media to help spread the word about diabetes and well-being. Visit the WDD website to learn more: www.worlddiabetesday.org
As we get nearer to the date, we'll list some of the events you can get involved in here.
We hope you'll be joining in on 14th November!
