World Diabetes Day

World Diabetes Day is a day celebrated annually on November 14th to raise awareness about diabetes and to promote efforts to prevent and treat the disease.

Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when the body is unable to properly regulate blood sugar levels. It is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide and is a major public health concern. World Diabetes Day is an opportunity for people around the world to learn about diabetes and to take steps to reduce their risk of developing the disease. The day is marked with events and activities organized by government and non-governmental organizations, including diabetes screening camps, awareness campaigns, and public lectures. It is also a time for people to show support for those who are affected by diabetes and to honor the memory of those who have lost their lives to the disease.
