DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/61/225)\n\n\n\n	Globally\, an estimated 422 millio
	n adults were living with diabetes in 2014\, compared to 108 million in 19
	80. The global prevalence of diabetes has nearly doubled since 1980\, risi
	ng from 4.7% to 8.5% in the adult population. This reflects an increase in
	 associated risk factors such as being overweight or obese. Over the past 
	decade\, diabetes prevalence has risen faster in low and middle-income cou
	ntries than in high-income countries.\n\n\n\n	Diabetes is a major cause of
	 blindness\, kidney failure\, heart attack\, stroke and lower limb amputat
	ion. Healthy diet\, physical activity and avoiding tobacco use can prevent
	 or delay type 2 diabetes. In addition\, diabetes can be treated and its c
	onsequences avoided or delayed with medication\, regular screening and tre
	atment for complications.\n\n\n\n	In 2007 the General Assembly adopted res
	olution 61/225 designating 14 November as World Diabetes Day. The document
	 recognized “the urgent need to pursue multilateral efforts to promote a
	nd improve human health\, and provide access to treatment and health-care 
	education.”\n\n\n\n	The resolution also encouraged Member States to deve
	lop national policies for the prevention\, treatment and care of diabetes 
	in line with the sustainable development of their health-care systems.\n\n
	\n\n	Access to diabetes care\n\n	The theme for World Diabetes Day 2021-23 
	is access to diabetes care.\n\n\n\n	100 years after the discovery of insul
	in\, millions of people with diabetes around the world cannot access the c
	are they need. People with diabetes require ongoing care and support to ma
	nage their condition and avoid complications.\n\n\n\n	The centenary of the
	 discovery of insulin presents a unique opportunity to bring about meaning
	ful change for the more than 460 million people living with diabetes and t
	he millions more at risk. United\, the global diabetes community has the n
	umbers\, the influence and the determination to bring about meaningful cha
	nge. We need to take on the challenge.\n\n\n\n	Background\n\n	Diabetes is 
	a chronic disease\, which occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough
	 insulin\, or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin\, it produc
	es. This leads to an increased concentration of glucose in the blood (hype
	rglycaemia).\n\n\n\n	Type 1 diabetes (previously known as insulin-dependen
	t or childhood-onset diabetes) is characterized by a lack of insulin produ
	ction.\n\n\n\n	Type 2 diabetes (formerly called non-insulin-dependent or a
	dult-onset diabetes) is caused by the body’s ineffective use of insulin.
	 It often results from excess body weight and physical inactivity.\n\n\n\n
		Gestational diabetes is hyperglycaemia that is first recognized during pr
	egnancy.\n\n
