World Diabetes Day!

The 14th of 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.

On World Diabetes Day, #dedoc° hosts Virtual World Diabetes Day in collaboration with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF Global and Europe).

Our Virtual World Diabetes Day is for diabetes advocates from all walks of life to share their advocacy work or personal stories with the Diabetes Online Community worldwide. Meet diabetes advocates and learn how they celebrate World Diabetes Day around the world and what they are advocating for on this special day.

Virtual World Diabetes Day is a diabetes community event – by, with and for people with diabetes.
