PsySSA Commemorates World Diabetes Day – 14 November 2024

World Diabetes Day (WDD) is an awareness campaign aimed to enhance awareness of one of the most prevalent global health problems. The World Health Organization (2023) describes the purpose of WDD as an opportunity to educate people about diabetes, implement better prevention strategies, and improve the management of the condition. Striving towards better diabetes care and prevention should be a collective goal. The theme for 2024-2026 is “Diabetes and Wellbeing” with a focus on empowering people living with diabetes to live a full and happy life. It is a reminder to all people living with the condition that they are not alone. Ultimately, WDD is an initiative to improve the overall wellbeing of all people living with diabetes.
