World Diabetes Day
World Diabetes Day is observed annually on 14 November, bringing the global diabetes community together to raise awareness and accelerate action to prevent and manage diabetes. It is the flagship awareness campaign of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF).
The 2026–2027 theme, **“Early Action on Diabetes,”** highlights the importance of diagnosing diabetes early, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and ensuring timely access to appropriate treatment and care. Early action can help prevent complications, improve health and well-being, and reduce the wider impact of diabetes on individuals, families and health systems.
On World Diabetes Day 2026, join the NCD Alliance, the International Diabetes Federation, the World Diabetes Foundation and the wider NCD community in calling for stronger prevention, early detection and equitable access to quality diabetes care for everyone who needs it.
