Global Diabetes Walk

537 million adults live with diabetes worldwide – a number predicted to rise to 783 million by 2045. More than 75% of them live in low- and middle-income countries. We need to spread awareness for diabetes prevention and care, a disease that affects the health of individuals, families, and societies.

The Walk is a global diabetes awareness campaign organised annually in November by the World Diabetes Foundation (WDF). Since 2004, more than 5 million people joined the Global Diabetes Walk to support the prevention of diabetes, one of the largest global public health concerns. Become a Walk organiser and let’s encourage a more active, healthier lifestyle.
