November 14th is a very important day in the world of diabetes as it marks World Diabetes Day across the globe! The Charles H. Best Diabetes Centre honours this important day, along with others from over 300 countries around the world. November 14th celebrates Sir Frederick Banting (his birthday) and Charles H. Best, Canadian medical scientists who co-discovered insulin. The symbol for World Diabetes Day (WDD) is a blue circle; a logo that was adopted in 2007 after the passage of the UN Resolution on diabetes. The blue circle is the global symbol for diabetes awareness. It signifies the unity of the global diabetes community in response to the diabetes epidemic.
Our goal is to raise awareness about the significant impact that type 1 diabetes has on the patient and family. Also, the effect it has of support networks to promotes the role of family in self-management, care and education. Together, we can support our growing number of families living with type 1.
The World Diabetes Day campaign theme for 2024-26 is, Diabetes and Wellbeing. With appropriate access to diabetes care and support for wellness, everyone with diabetes has the chance to live a full life. As a matter of fact, timely access to care and patient wellness was, and is, a driving force in the establishment and strategic plan for The Best Centre
The campaign is represented by a blue circle logo that was adopted in 2007 after the passage of the UN Resolution on diabetes. The blue circle is the global symbol for diabetes awareness. It signifies the unity of the global diabetes community in response to the diabetes epidemic.
