🌎 World Diabetes Day – 14 November
This year’s theme — “Diabetes across life stages” — highlights that diabetes can affect anyone, from kids to seniors, and underscores the importance of tailored care, emotional support, and healthy environments at every age.
📊 Did you know?
🔹 Around 589 million adults globally live with diabetes, that’s 1 in 9 people and projections show it could reach 853 million by 2050.
🔹 In Australia alone, 1.7 million people (about 7.4% of adults) are living with diabetes a number that’s been steadily climbing.
🔹 Shockingly, nearly half of all cases worldwide are undiagnosed, meaning millions are at risk without even knowing it.
🎯 Why it matters:
🔹Diabetes affects every stage of life and good care means more than medicine. It means community, emotional well‑being, and accessible support systems.
🔹Early detection and lifestyle habits can make a huge difference, especially in preventing Type 2 diabetes.
🔵 Let’s raise awareness today — for ourselves, our loved ones, and our community. Learn the signs, start the conversation, and stand with those living with diabetes.💙
