World Diabetes Day

World Diabetes Day, on November 14, is a special day to learn about diabetes, a condition where the body has trouble handling sugar. Imagine your body as a car and sugar as fuel; diabetes means the car can't use the fuel properly. On this day, people around the world share how to stay healthy and help those with diabetes. It's like a big team trying to understand how our bodies work and how we can take care of them. Schools, doctors, and families talk about eating well, staying active, and checking our health, making it a day for learning and caring.

How to celebrate World Diabetes Day?

Wear blue clothes or a blue circle pin to show support. Make a colorful poster with facts about diabetes to raise awareness. Share a healthy snack, like fruit or veggie sticks, with friends. Play a fun game that involves being active, like tag or jump rope, because exercise is important for staying healthy. Talk to your family about planning a healthy meal together. Share a picture or drawing about diabetes awareness on social media if you're allowed. Finally, thank someone who helps people with diabetes, like a nurse or doctor, by giving them a handmade card.
