Important Days
World Diabetes Day is observed every year on 14 November to spread awareness about the health condition that affects millions of people around the world. Diabetes is a condition that occurs when blood sugar levels become too high. It usually develops when the pancreas does not make enough or any insulin, or when the body is not responding properly to the effects of insulin. Diabetes can affect people of all ages. Most forms of diabetes are chronic and last for a long time while most such forms can be controlled with medications and lifestyle changes. November 14, the birth anniversary of Sir Frederick Banting, who discovered insulin with Charles Best in 1922, was chosen as World Diabetes Day. This day reflects the importance of reaching maximum people globally to promote a platform for diabetes and its treatment. The theme of World Diabetes Day 2023 is 'Access to Diabetes Care' which will emphasize the importance of equitable access to the necessary care and treatment for diabetes.
