The United Nations recognise that diabetes is a serious global health threat, and World Diabetes Day will reinforce and highlight that fact.
The United Nations is calling on all nations to develop policies to treat and care for those currently living with diabetes and provide preventative measures for those at risk of becoming ill.
Globally more than 250 million people are currently living with diabetes with about seven million new cases developing every year.
