#dedoc° is an international community by and for people with diabetes.

14 November is World Diabetes Day!

This day commemorates the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, the scientist who first discovered, isolated and administered insulin, in one of the greatest medical breakthroughs in history.

Every year on 14 November, #dedoc° hosts a Virtual World Diabetes Day in collaboration with the International Diabetes Federation.

This year, #dedoc° joins PDGN in celebrating the 75th anniversary of the International Diabetes Federation. After a short introduction and words of welcome, we will re-stream the first session of the Global Parliamentary Diabetes Advocacy Forum - live from Malta!

#dedoc° is a global network of diabetes advocates and influencers.
Through programs like #dedoc° voices and #docday°, we amplify personal experiences, raise awareness, and create opportunities for meaningful change in diabetes care and advocacy.

We are bridging the gap between those living with diabetes and the organizations, policymakers, and healthcare providers shaping their care. By amplifying personal stories and creating spaces for dialogue, #dedoc° ensures that the real-life experiences of people with diabetes are central to the global conversation. Through strategic partnerships and innovative advocacy, #dedoc° empowers individuals to drive systemic change in diabetes awareness, affordability, and access to care.

Driving global change in diabetes awareness and policy

At its core, #dedoc° is committed to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and informed community. By connecting advocates across the globe, the organization builds a collective voice that is impossible to ignore.

Whether through educational resources, public events, or groundbreaking programs, #dedoc° strives to break down stigmas, inspire action, and improve the lives of everyone impacted by diabetes.
