Explanation:
World Diabetes Day is celebrated around the world on 14th of November to raise awareness about Type 2 Diabetes, its causes and how people can avoid it. It’s considered the largest global public awareness campaign centered around the disease.The day originated as a result of International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and World Health Organization’s joint efforts to create a massive public awareness campaign for Diabetes. In 2006 UN also declared it an official UN Day to by passing a resolution.Around early 1990s as diabetes cases grew from a steady pace around the world, it rang a warning bell for health organizations. Though IDF used to organize several campaigns centered around diabetes every year, the rise of disease at a global scale made it clear that there was need of a massive global campaign to combat it. So in 1991 IDF joined hands with WHO and both entities celebrated first World Diabetes Day (WDD) on November 14, 1991.The date selected for the day also has a short story of itself. November 14 was chosen for the day because it was the birthday of Frederick Banting, Canadian scientist who was the first to use insulin on humans for treatment of Diabetes.
