World Diabetes Day 2024: celebrating progress and calling for better care World Diabetes Day is here! Let's recognize the progress made in diabetes care and advocate for a future where everyone has access to the support they need. Read Elisabeth Dupont’s, regional manager at International Diabetes Federation Europe inspiring words and join #JACARDI and its allies in calling for a more equitable and holistic approach to diabetes management. 👇 "World Diabetes Day is more than just a date on the calendar. It's a moment to recognize the incredible strides made since insulin’s discovery a century ago and to acknowledge the challenges that still lie ahead. On November 14th, we are reminded of the importance of a person-centred, integrated approach to improve how we prevent, diagnose, and manage diabetes across Europe.   This day also amplifies a shared call from the diabetes community. Together, we are asking for a more equitable Europe, where everyone affected by diabetes has access to the care, innovation, support and education they need. Together, we are also advocating for a more holistic approach that addresses the interconnected nature of diabetes and other major NCDs. By prioritizing a comprehensive approach, we can support healthier lives, prevent complications, and strengthen care for those affected.   This is a day to celebrate the engagement of people living with diabetes, to listen to their voices, and to renew our commitment to making diabetes care a priority. By standing together, we can inspire the change needed to make a real difference in millions of lives across Europe."   #EU4Health #HealthUnion #PublicHealth #JACARDI
