World Diabetes Day raises awareness of diabetes and the importance of prevention, early diagnosis and effective management. The day highlights the growing global impact of diabetes and encourages people to learn more about the condition and how it can be managed.

Understanding risk factors, recognising symptoms and supporting healthy lifestyle habits can all play an important role in improving long-term health outcomes.
