World Diabetes Day 2026

World Diabetes Day is on 14 November 2026

In 2025 on World Diabetes Day, we talked about diabetes stigma and the harm it causes, wherever it comes from. We launched our campaign to Strike Out Stigma, starting by challenging some of the common misconceptions and hurtful comments that people with diabetes receive every day. Because it’s not just a comment, or a joke. Our words matter.
