World Diabetes Day 2022: Date, history, theme and significance

Washington [US], November 14 (ANI): Every year on November 14, people globally commemorate World Diabetes Day to raise awareness of the risks diabetes poses to their health and how to prevent them. On this day, two brilliant scientists, Sir Frederick Banting and Charles Best are recognised for their significant contribution to the discovery of insulin.
The main purpose of World Diabetes Day, however, is not to reflect on the past but to increase public knowledge of the dangers of diabetes, the problems that currently exist, and the best ways to solve them to provide advanced care that is sustainable.
