World Diabetes Day is the Primary Global Awareness Campaign of the Diabetes World

Nov 1, 2010

This press release is an announcement submitted by IDF, and was not written by Diabetes Health.

It was introduced in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in response to the alarming rise in diabetes around the world. In 2007, the United Nations marked the Day for the first time with the passage of the United Nations World Diabetes Day Resolution in December 2006, which made the existing World Diabetes Day an official United Nations World Health Day.
