World Diabetes Day 2027 <\/p>

Diabetes is a serious disease that cannot be cured. Every year the number of people affected is increasing. In 1991, the International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organisation established World Diabetes Day to draw attention to the problem and raise awareness of diabetes. 14 November is the birthday of Frederick Grant Bunting. Together with Charles Best and John McLeod he isolated the hormone insulin and injected it into a teenager who was dying of diabetes. Thus in 1922, for the first time in history, the life of a man with diabetes was saved. Since then, the scientists’ discovery has saved the lives of millions of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diabetes is a disease in which the body cannot produce or use insulin. Insulin is needed to transport glucose from the blood to our cells. This process provides the body’s cells with energy. People with diabetes must inject themselves with insulin throughout their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For many people, this day is a reminder to check their health. Prevention talks are given to people. Health organisations hold mass events to support the fight against diabetes. Since 2007, the day has been held under the auspices of the United Nations. The symbol of the fight against diabetes is a blue circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
World Diabetes Day is celebrated every year on 14 November all over the world. The best way to celebrate this day is to get your health checked. Learn more about diabetes, its signs and how to prevent it.<\/p>\n\n\n
