World Diabetes Day (WDD) is observed every year on November 14, the birthdate of Sir Frederick Banting, the scientist who codiscovered insulin with Dr Charles Best. In 1991, the International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organization decided to designate this day to create awareness about the escalating health threats posed by diabetes. The theme for WDD 2021 to 2023 is Access to Diabetes Care. WDD is the world’s largest diabetes awareness campaign that reaches more than 1 billion people in more than 160 countries. The campaign focuses on issues pertaining to diabetes and aims to promote the importance of taking coordinated and concerted actions to tackle diabetes as a critical global issue. WORLD Diabetes Day
