If someone asks tell them about diabetes and the impact its had on your loved one and your lives. On November 14th, World Diabetes Day, Bantings birthday (discovery of insulin was made by Banting, Best and associates.) The day has been recognised since 1991, and was instituted by the International Diabetes Federation. The theme until 2013 apprently is Prevention and Education am I wrong in saying here that yet again, the focus seems to be on Type 2? The blue circle symbolises unity of the global diabetes community in response to the diabetes pandemic.
