World Diabetes Day, held on 14 November each year since 1991, is the primary global awareness campaign on diabetes mellitus, led by the International Diabetes Federation in partnership with the World Health Organization. Each year's observance is built around a specific theme and addresses the rapid worldwide rise of type 2 diabetes, a largely preventable and treatable noncommunicable disease, through education, screening and thematic public campaigns.

The program-kind fact itself stays on the program unchanged.
