World Diabetes Day
2025
Friday 14 November 2025 is World Diabetes Day.
It is marked every year on 14 November, the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, who co-discovered insulin along with Charles Best in 1922.
WDD was created in 1991 by International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization and became an official United Nations Day in 2006 with the passage of United Nations Resolution 61/225.
It is a global occasion for people with diabetes, healthcare professionals, advocates, policymakers and the public to unite to raise awareness of and take action on diabetes.
2025’s theme is ‘Diabetes and wellbeing’ and the focus is ‘Diabetes and the workplace’.
