WDD November 14 and YOU!

As we gear up for the first ever UN-recognised World Diabetes Day (WDD), there are a number of activities happening around the world that you can be part of. Making as much noise, exposure and awareness of WWD is integral for the success of the Unite for Diabetes campaign.

So what can you do? Write, talk, yell, and now walk for the occasion! If you're short on finding out what's happening in your area, visit the WDD Official events page and get into it! If in the unlikely scenario that there isn't a local event for you, by all means organise a walk, colour something in Unite for Diabetes blue, or form a circle with anything you can and send in photos! It doesn't have to be a huge thing, just something to show that you beleive in uniting for diabetes.

Alternatively, contact the local patient organisation from your country and see if they are doing anything - a whole list can be found on the International Diabetes Federation's website here.

Get into it!
