14 November - World Diabetes Day

World Diabetes Day (WDD)  is marked every year on 14 November, the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, who co-discovered insulin along with Charles Best in 1922.

WDD was created in 1991 by International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization and became an official United Nations Day in 2006 with the passage of United Nations Resolution 61/225.

World Diabetes Day promotes awareness that every person with diabetes or at risk of diabetes deserves the best possible quality of education, prevention and care available.

2024 - 2026 - Three Year Campaign
______________

Diabetes and well-being is the theme chosen by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) for WDD 2024-26. 

For a better diabetes life

This strapline will run across three years. It emphasises the movement towards change in diabetes care that will improve daily life and well-being for those living with the condition.

Campaign Definitions:
well-being: A physical and mental state of being comfortable, healthy or happy.
support for a person’s / people’s well-being: The interventions that can improve a person’s/ people’s well-being.
diabetes life: The daily experience of managing the physical and mental challenges of diabetes alongside home, work and/or school life.



Diabetes life forces you to be more resilient, organised and responsible. It means you have to think about everything you eat and take better care of yourself than others – even the simplest task requires many extra decisions.

Nutrition for Diabetic Patients

------------------------------------

Dietary Advice For Individuals with Diabetes
Andrew Reynolds, BSc, MSc, PhD, MPH and Joanna Mitri, MD, MS.
Last Update: April 28, 2024.

Dietary advice for those with diabetes has evolved and have become more flexible and patient centered over time. Nutrition goals 2024 were issued by the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Please read 2024 guidelines.

CARBOHYDRATES

Both the type and total amount of carbohydrate (CHO) consumed influences glycemia. Carbohydrate intake should emphasize nutrient-dense carbohydrate sources that are high in fiber (at least 14 g fiber per 1,000 kcal) and minimally processed (1). 

Higher intakes of sugars are associated with weight gain and greater incidence of dental caries.

Higher intakes of dietary fiber are associated with reduced non-communicable disease and premature mortality occurrence as well as improvements in body weight, cholesterol concentrations, and blood pressure. These benefits with higher fiber intakes have been observed in the general population, for those with type 1, type 2, and pre diabetes,  and those with hypertension or heart disease. 

With this guidance in mind, eating plans should emphasize non-starchy vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains, as well as dairy products with minimal added sugars. There is less consistency of evidence for recommending an amount of overall CHO in the diet. 


Dietary Fiber
Current recommendations from the American Diabetes Association are that adults with diabetes should consume high fiber foods (at least 14g fiber per 1,000 kcal). Current recommendations from the European Association for the Study of Diabetes are that adults with diabetes should consume at least 35g dietary fiber per day (or 16.7g per 1,000 kcal). These two values are aligned, and higher than current World Health Organization recommendations for the general population of at least 25g dietary fiber per day,  although all three recommendations recognize a minimum intake level, with greater benefits observed with higher intakes. These values are appreciably higher than current dietary fiber intakes in the United States, which is approximately 16g per day.


Protein

The National Kidney Foundation recommends 0.8 g protein/kg desirable body weight for people with diabetes and stages 1–4 chronic kidney disease as a means of reducing albuminuria and stabilizing kidney function. Reducing the amount of dietary protein below 10% total energy is not recommended as it places people at risk of protein inadequacy (10).

Take The Be Kind Pledge and Make a Commitment to BE KIND!





-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



How do people in America celebrate?
There are many ways to get involved and spread kindness. At The Be Kind People Project, we believe kindness is a force that goes to the heart of how people respect, love, honor, communicate with and treat one another. We define kindness as intentionally extending good to others. World Kindness Day is an opportunity for children and adults worldwide to make a commitment to intentionally extend good to others in actions and words. Saying a kind word, calling a friend, helping a neighbor, hugging a loved one, and volunteering or making a donation to a non-profit are just a few examples.
