Every year on November 14th, World Diabetes Day is the primary global awareness campaign focusing on diabetes mellitus.
Each World Diabetes Day, organised by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), focuses on a different issue linked to diabetes; type-2 diabetes is a mostly preventable and treatable non-communicable illness that is quickly increasing in prevalence around the world. Although type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented, it can be controlled with insulin injections. Diabetes and human rights, diabetes and lifestyle, diabetes and obesity, diabetes among the poor and vulnerable, and diabetes in children and adolescents have all been discussed.While the campaigns run throughout the year, the day itself commemorates Frederick Banting's birthday, when he, along with Charles Best and John James Rickard Macleod, came up with the idea that led to the discovery of insulin in 1922.
HISTORY OF WORLD DIABETES DAY
The International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organization (WHO) established World Diabetes Day in 1991 in response to the significant rise of diabetes around the world.
By 2016, approximately 230 IDF member associations in over 160 countries and territories, as well as other organisations, enterprises, healthcare professionals, politicians, celebrities, and people living with diabetes and their families, were commemorating World Diabetes Day. Diabetes screening programmes, radio and television ads, sports events, and other activities are among the activities.
HOW TO OBSERVE WORLD DIABETES DAY
Wear the blue circle
The blue circle emblem is recognised around the world as a symbol of diabetes awareness. Wear a t-shirt, necklace, or bracelet with the logo on World Diabetes Day, or make one yourself, to raise awareness of this serious disease and its consequences.
Organize a diabetes fair
Collaborate with local health officials to host a diabetes expo at your workplace or in your community. Provide diabetes screenings, distribute information and pamphlets, and advise individuals on how to avoid type 2 diabetes and be healthy.
Get tested
Excessive urine excretion, thirst, persistent hunger, weight loss, eyesight problems, and exhaustion are just a few of the symptoms of diabetes. Furthermore, being overweight or obese significantly raises the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Undiagnosed diabetes affects one out of every two adults. If you have any risk factors or symptoms, use World Diabetes Day as a reminder to get checked.
WHY WORLD DIABETES DAY IS IMPORTANT
It raises awareness about the diabetes epidemic
Diabetic diagnoses grew by 380 percent over a 25-year period (from 1988 to 2013). And these diagnoses are dangerous: the World Health Organization expects that diabetes will be the world's eighth biggest cause of death by 2030. This condition necessitates attention, which is why dedicating an entire day to it is critical.
Diabetes type 2 can be avoided
World Diabetes Day acts as a wake-up call to live a healthier lifestyle. Type II diabetes can be controlled by eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. Tobacco usage aggravates type 2 diabetes and should be avoided.
It's a good reminder to stay informed about diabetes
Although type 2 diabetes has reached pandemic proportions, type I diabetes, often known as juvenile diabetes, is a severe health issue. Type I diabetes affects around 1.25 million Americans, although the source of the condition is unknown. The health consequences, on the other hand, are exactly as bad as type 2 diabetes. World Diabetes Day acts as a reminder to be aware of diabetes symptoms, to be diagnosed, and to receive treatment.
