The Bermuda Diabetes Association will participate in World Diabetes Day on November 14, but this is the first year the day will be recognized by the UN. The day will be marked by people around the world with a new universal symbol for diabetes, a blue circle.
On December 20 last year, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution recognizing diabetes as "a chronic, debilitating and costly disease associated with major complications that pose severe risks for families, countries and the entire world."
