Happy World Diabetes Day!


Today, November 14, is World Diabetes Day! The World Diabetes Day campaign is led by The International Diabetes Foundation and its member associations.

Established in 1991, World Diabetes Day puts diabetes in the public spotlight and draws attention to issues that are important to the diabetes community. The theme of this year's World Diabetes Day is "Diabetes: Protect Our Future."

November 14 was selected as the annual date for World Diabetes Day because it is the birthday of Frederick Banting, who, along with Charles Best, is credited with the discovery of insulin.
