This day aims to promote awareness and spread messages internationally about the condition. According to the <strong>World Health Organisation<\/strong>, an estimated <strong>425 million people<\/strong> are living with diabetes globally. And by 2045 the number will rise to<strong> 629 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">World Diabetes Day is co-ordinated by the <strong>International Diabetes Federation<\/strong> (IDF) who created the campaign in 1991 in response to the rapid growth of diabetes around the world. It is held on <strong>November 14<sup>th<\/sup><\/strong> because it is the birthday of <strong>Sir Frederick Banting<\/strong>, the man who discovered insulin in 1992 with <strong>Charles Best<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Every year a theme is put in place by the IDF for the occasion. This years\u2019 is \u201c<strong>The Family and Diabetes<\/strong>\u201d. It was established to highlight the effects of the disease on not only individuals, but the families and support systems of those affected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It also promotes the roles of the families when it comes too management, education, prevention and care of the disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Diabetes occurs when the body is unable or overly able to produce the required amount of insulin to control the blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are two main types of diabetes: <strong>Type 1<\/strong>, where the body does not produce enough insulin. The<strong> immune system destroys the cells<\/strong> in the pancreas that make insulin. Although this type can appear at any age, it is usually diagnosed in young adults and children. This requires a day-to-day intake of artificial insulin from insulin pumps or injections.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Type 2 diabetes<\/strong> is the most common type. It is when the body does not use or make insulin well. This can develop at any age, although it is prominent in<strong> middle-aged and older people<\/strong>. This is usually managed in the form of medicine and control over the diet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The common types of diabetes are <strong>gestational<\/strong>, <strong>monogenic diabetes<\/strong>, which is an inherited form of diabetes, and<strong> cystic fibrosis-related diabetes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Heart disease<\/strong>,<strong> stroke<\/strong>, <strong>kidney disease<\/strong>, <strong>nerve damage<\/strong> and<strong> foot damages<\/strong> are among the <strong>risks associated<\/strong> with diabetes in the long term.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">World Diabetes Day is a global event that <strong>joins medical professionals and individuals from all over the world<\/strong>, it occurs in over <strong>160 companies and 200 diabetic member associations<\/strong>. Famous buildings such as; the London and the Sears Tower have been lit up to commemorate this day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To get involved you can share key events and messages to promote diabetes by using the hashtag <strong>#WDD2018<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep sep-none\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:;\"><\/div><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;\">References<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;\">Statista.
