Summary[edit]

Description

Celebrated on 14 November each year, World Diabetes Day is the world’s largest diabetes awareness campaign. World Diabetes Day was created in 1991 by the International Diabetes Foundation and the World Health Organisation in response to growing concerns about the escalating health threat posed by diabetes.

14 November marks the birthday of Frederick Banting, who co-discovered insulin in 1922. World Diabetes Day became an official United Nations Day in 2006, and is now celebrated in more than 160 countries and territories.

Each year, World Diabetes Day is centered on a theme. This year’s theme is healthy eating as a key factor in the fight against diabetes and a cornerstone of health and sustainable development. Previous themes have included diabetes and human rights, diabetes and obesity, and diabetes in children and adolescents.

The image above shows a pamphlet produced by the Lions Clubs International Multiple District 202 and Diabetes New Zealand. The pamphlet is included in a 1991 New Zealand Department of Health file. Archives New Zealand holds a number of Ministry of Health files about diabetes which can be searched for using Archway, our online finding aid: www.archway.archives.govt.nz
