World Diabetes Day (WDD) was created in response to growing concerns about the escalating health threat posed by diabetes. WDD draws attention to issues of paramount importance to the diabetes world and keeps diabetes firmly in the public and political spotlight.

“1 in 10 people are living with diabetes.”

This year, the theme of WDD is ‘Diabetes: Nurses make the difference’ and aim to raise awareness around the crucial role that nurses play in supporting people living with diabetes. As the number of people with diabetes continues to rise across the world, the role of nurses and other health professional support staff is becoming increasingly important in managing the impact of the condition.

To get involved this November:

• Spread awareness about WDD on social media
• Educate friends and family about diabetes
• Learn more about diabetes and the risks
