World Diabetes Day (WDD) was created in 1991 by IDF and the World Health Organization in response to growing concerns about the escalating health threat posed by diabetes. World Diabetes Day became an official United Nations Day in 2006 with the passage of United Nation Resolution 61/225.

WDD is the world’s largest diabetes awareness campaign reaching a global audience of over 1 billion people in more than 160 countries. The campaign draws attention to issues of paramount importance to the diabetes world and keeps diabetes firmly in the public and political spotlight.

About 199 million of women diagnosed with diabetes and will increase to 313 million in 2040. idsMED concern that 2 out of 5 women with diabetes are in productive age which many do not have access to education, treatment and care. 

Diabetes is a leading cause of death among women. So let’s start your healthy lifestyle to prevent the disease! Care for others and our future generation. #WorldDiabetesDay #idsMED #WeCarewithAHeart
