World Diabetes Day, Sun Nov 14th, 2021
World Diabetes Day is the primary global awareness campaign focusing on diabetes mellitus and is held on 14 November each year.
The theme for World Diabetes Day 2021 is Access to Diabetes Care.
- Millions of people with diabetes around the world do not have access to diabetes care.
- People with diabetes require ongoing care and support to manage their condition and avoid complications.
We cannot wait any longer for:
- Medicine, technologies, support and care to be made available to all people with diabetes that require them.
- Governments to increase investment in diabetes care and prevention.
The centenary of the discovery of insulin presents a unique opportunity to bring about meaningful change for the more than 460 million people living with diabetes and the millions more at risk.
