The theme for World Diabetes Day 2021-23 is access to diabetes care. In 2022, the campaign focuses on the need for better access to quality diabetes education for healthcare professionals and people living with diabetes. One in 10 adults around the world currently live with diabetes, an estimated 537 million people. Almost half do not know they have it. This is putting added strain on healthcare systems.Healthcare professionals must know how to detect and diagnose diabetes early and make the most of the limited time they have to provide the best possible advice and care for people living with diabetes. For more than 95% of the time, people living with diabetes are looking after themselves. They need access to ongoing education to understand their condition and carry out the daily self-care essential to staying healthy and avoiding complications.
The theme for World Diabetes Day 2021-23 is Access to Diabetes Care. Millions of people with diabetes around the world do not have access to diabetes care. People with diabetes require ongoing care and support to manage their condition and avoid complications. We cannot wait any longer for:Medicine, technologies, support and care to be made available to all people with diabetes that require them. Governments to increase investment in diabetes care and prevention.
