World Diabetes Day is observed on November 14, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis. Many individuals live with diabetes without being aware of it. Symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. The 2026 theme focuses on early action against diabetes, highlighting the need for symptom recognition and access to treatment. Approximately 589 million adults globally have diabetes, with many undiagnosed. Early detection can prevent severe complications. Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by high blood glucose levels, with type 1 being autoimmune and type 2 often linked to lifestyle factors. Regular health checks and lifestyle changes can help prevent type 2 diabetes.
