World Diabetes Day November 2015
In 2015, World Diabetes Day has become a year-long campaign to reflect the realities of people living with diabetes. The campaign will focus on healthy eating as a key factor in the fight against diabetes and a cornerstone of global health and sustainable development.
Healthy eating:
Can help prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes
Is an important part of the effective management of all types of diabetes to help avoid complications
While WDD 2015 primarily addresses key opinion leaders, the campaign success also relies on the stakeholders of the global diabetes community. The aim is to engage stakeholders to improve access to healthy food, save lives, reduce the global burden of diabetes and save billions in lost productivity and healthcare costs.
