14 November every year is marked as World Diabetes Day to promote awareness about the impact of diabetes disease, its prevention, and diabetes education both individually and collectively. The day was established in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation with support from the World Health Organization to address the growing concerns posed by diabetes. World Diabetes day became an official UN day in 2006.
