Every year, 14 November is observed as World Diabetes Day. This day marks the birthday of Dr Frederick Banting, who discovered insulin along with Dr Charles Best. This is an internationally recognized World Health Organization (WHO) event coordinated by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), with an aim to spread awareness about diabetes mellitus. This year’s theme is ‘Family and Diabetes’. There will be events to promote the role of family in the prevention and management of diabetes, and activities to inform society about the impact of diabetes on the family.
