World Diabetes Day | Living with diabetes and vision loss - Lakshmi Varimadugu (ISPAD Hero Award)

14 November is World Diabetes Day. This day commemorates the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, the scientist who first discovered, isolated and administered insulin in one of the greatest medical breakthroughs in history.
On World Diabetes Day, 14 November 2024, #dedoc° hosted a virtual community in event in partnership with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF).
During the event, we heard from diabetes advocates and members of IDF member organisations and learned how they celebrate World Diabetes Day in their country - and what they are advocating for on this special day.
