WORLD DIABETES DAY - THREE MONTHS TO GO

Unite for a Healthy Future

Inline Image

On 18 September, on the eve of the landmark United Nations High-Level Summit on Non-Communicable Diseases (NDS) at UN Headquarters in New York, the International Diabetes Federation, supported by several non-governmental health organisations, diabetes advocacy groups and leading diabetes and health bloggers, will be holding a mass awareness celebration in Central Park and the New York Academy of Medicine to engage the general public in the key messages and objectives of the Summit.

A wide range of activities will be held from 12pm onwards. These include a bicycle ride with members of Team Type 1 Diabetes, the first professional cycling team consisting predominantly of athletes with type 1 diabetes, and other fun initiatives aimed at promoting the importance of physical activity in the prevention and management of diabetes and other NCDs such as cancer, heart and respiratory diseases.

We encourage everyone who can to join us at the New York Academy of Medicine to produce a powerful and united voice for a healthy future, and show their support for the outcomes that we want the Summit to achieve. More details about the event.

Not able to make it but still want to show your support? Wherever you are, you can join the celebration by organising an awareness event in your town or city on September 18. Contact us at wdd@idf.org to find out how you can take part and help make a difference.

'O is for Outrage'

Our campaign to convince US President Barack Obama to attend the Summit continues to gain momentum. If you haven't done so already, make sure to submit your postcard before August 31.

With World Diabetes Day, 14 November, less than 100 days away, planning is well underway all over the world to mark the day and build on the achievements of previous years. Whatever activity you have in mind - an awareness walk, a human blue circle, a blue lighting, a diabetes screening, a seminar or lecture for health professionals, a press conference, an event for children and young people, or simply raising diabetes awareness on your website of blog - make sure to share it with the global diabetes community by submitting your event information.

Interested in organising something but not sure how to go about it? Consult our campaign book or have a look at how World Diabetes Day has been marked in the past by visiting our campaign pool on Flickr.

Don't forget to take part in the Blue Monument Challenge by submitting a confirmed lighting to wdd@idf.org. Over 900 buildings in landmarks in more than 100 countries brought diabetes to light in 2010.
