Today is World Diabetes Day and following a United Nations resolution at the end of last year it is now recognised annually in over 150 years.
This year, the focus is on type 1 diabetes - which cannot be cured or prevented - and how it affects young people.
New Zealand diabetes supporters in Wellington walked 246 paces to acknowledge the 246 million diabetics worldwide.
