World Diabetes Day 2024: Breaking Barriers, 
Bridging Gaps in Diabetes Care
• Every year on November 14th, people around the world observe World 
Diabetes Day, a vital initiative aimed at raising awareness and advocating for 
better care for diabetes, a condition affecting millions globally. 
• Established in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the 
World Health Organization (WHO), this day is dedicated to promoting diabetes 
prevention, education, and accessible treatment for all. 
• Further, November 14th is no random date; it honours the birthday of Sir 
Frederick Banting, who co-discovered insulin in 1922 alongside Charles Best, a 
discovery that changed millions of lives. 
.
Theme for 2024: "Breaking Barriers, 
Bridging Gaps"
• The theme for World Diabetes Day 2024, "Breaking Barriers, Bridging Gaps," 
emphasizes the critical need to overcome disparities in diabetes care. 
• Also, while diabetes rates continue to rise worldwide, access to effective, 
comprehensive, and affordable treatment remains out of reach for many, 
especially in low and middle-income countries. 
• This year's theme emphasizes the importance of bridging these gaps to ensure 
that everyone regardless of where they live and has access to equitable 
diabetes care. 
• Thus, it calls for initiatives that reduce the risk of diabetes onset and ensure 
ongoing support for those who are diagnosed.
 
    
Erode Diabetes Foundation
• In line with this year’s World Diabetes Day theme, "Breaking Barriers, Bridging 
Gaps," the Erode Diabetes Foundation continues to make a remarkable impact 
on community health. 
• Through consistent efforts, the foundation is bridging gaps in diabetes care by 
conducting regular diabetes awareness camps, health screenings, and 
educational events. 
• Dr. A. S. Senthilvelu, along with his team at the Erode Diabetes Foundation, is 
dedicated to empowering the community with knowledge and preventive care 
strategies
.
Additional Services and Resources
• Beyond in-person camps, the Erode Diabetes Foundation also offers online 
sessions, where Dr. Senthilvelu discusses various diabetes complications, 
preventive care, and effective management strategies. 
• These online resources are accessible to everyone and include educational 
content on lifestyle changes, nutrition, and exercise routines essential for 
diabetes management.
.
To Sum-
up
• World Diabetes Day 2024 calls for global unity in breaking barriers and bridging 
gaps in diabetes care. 
• With a theme that resonates on both personal and community levels, this day 
urges everyone to join forces to ensure access to care for all. 
• Whether through early detection, ongoing education, or local initiatives like 
those conducted by the Erode Diabetes Foundation, each step brings us closer to 
a world where diabetes care is equitable and accessible. 
• Together, we can create a world where diabetes care is accessible for everyone, 
everywhere.
