World Diabetes Day HistoryWorld Diabetes Day is a globally celebrated event that seeks to enhance awareness about diabetes, a chronic health condition affecting millions of people worldwide. This global event aims to promote better management, prevention, and education on diabetes. With its focus on prevention and control, World Diabetes Day highlights the importance of early diagnosis, effective treatment, and lifestyle changes to prevent complications and improve the quality of life for those living with the disease. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and World Health Organisation (WHO) created World Diabetes Day in 1991 to respond to the escalating health threat posed by the disease. In the United Kingdom, diabetes affects an estimated 4.9 million people, and it is predicted to reach 5.3 million by 2025. Furthermore, around 13.6% of the UK population are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Raising awareness about diabetes in the UK is critical due to the steadily increasing number of people affected and the associated health risks. Various events and activities are organised in the United Kingdom to mark World Diabetes Day. These may include information sessions, seminars, fundraisers, and health checks to raise awareness of the condition and promote healthy lifestyles. Charities and community groups across the country contribute to this observance by hosting events and sharing educational resources. World Diabetes Day takes place annually on the 14th of November, the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, one of the scientists credited with the discovery of insulin – a hormone integral to managing diabetes.
