The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) started World Diabetes Day (WDD) in 1991 in response to the escalating health threat posed by diabetes.

It has since grown to become the world’s largest diabetes awareness campaign and an official United Nations (UN) awareness day.

The theme of World Diabetes Day 2020 is “The Nurse and Diabetes”.
