| Description |
November 14 is marked as World Diabetes Day to help raise awareness of the condition. The day was first celebrated in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organisation in response to the alarming rise of diabetes around the world. World Diabetes Day is a campaign that features a new theme chosen by the International Diabetes Federation each year to address issues facing the global diabetes community. While the campaigns last the whole year, the day itself marks the birthday of Frederick Banting who, along with Charles Best, first conceived the idea which led to the discovery of insulin in 1922. Each year, World Diabetes Day is centred on a theme related to diabetes. Topics covered have included diabetes and human rights, diabetes and lifestyle, diabetes and obesity, diabetes in the disadvantaged and the vulnerable, diabetes in children and adolescents. World Diabetes Day is celebrated worldwide by the over 230 member associations of the International Diabetes Federation in more than 160 countries and territories, all Member States of the United Nations, as well as by other associations and organizations, companies, healthcare professionals and people living with diabetes and their families. The image shown here is from a New Zealand Department of Health file related to health education on diabetes. The pamphlet from 1971 includes basic information on what diabetes is and what some of the common symptoms are. Archives New Zealand holds a number of Ministry of Health files on diabetes which can be searched for using our online finding aid Archway archway.archives.govt.nz/ File Reference: ABQU W4452 632 box 1566 344-12-1-7 archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=16661669 For further enquiries please email Research.Archives@dia.govt.nz Material from Archives New Zealand |
