World Diabetes Day is the primary global awareness campaign of the
diabetes mellitus world and is held on November 14 of each year. It was introduced in 1991 by the
International Diabetes Federation and the
World Health Organization in response to the alarming rise of diabetes around the world. World Diabetes Day is a campaign that features a new theme chosen by the International Diabetes Federation each year to address issues facing the global diabetes community. While the campaigns last the whole year, the day itself marks the birthday of
Frederick Banting who, along with
Charles Best, first conceived the idea which led to the discovery of
insulin in 1922.
As a diabetic with type 1 having to inject insulin each day I thank the discoverers for my health.
From a fellow Diabetic here in Spain, can I wish you a Happy World Diabetes Day.. 【ツ】
