Unveiling the Symbolic Blue Circle: The Meaning Behind World Diabetes Day
The blue circle is the universal symbol for diabetes, representing unity and solidarity in the fight against the disease. Introduced by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2007, the blue color was inspired by the United Nations flag. World Diabetes Day, observed annually on November 14th, aims to raise awareness about diabetes and promote better care, prevention, and research. Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the body cannot produce or effectively use insulin, leading to high blood glucose levels.
