The theme for World Diabetes Day 2021-23 is “Access to Diabetes Care”, and aims to bring together global diabetes patients, healthcare professionals, diabetes advocates, international public opinion and government organizations with the aim of increasing awareness about diabetes every year. This year, the campaign focuses on the importance of knowing your risk of type 2 diabetes to help delay or prevent the condition and highlighting the impact of diabetes-related complications. In today's world, where 1 in every 10 adults has diabetes, knowing the risks and correct practices in the field is of great importance to support prevention, early diagnosis and timely treatment. Through the theme of "Access to Diabetes Care" determined by the International Diabetes Federation, it is aimed to maintain the relevant existing strategic plans in the best possible way and to facilitate the planning, development, participation and promotion of the diabetes campaign. Millions of diabetic patients worldwide who lack access to diabetes care need permanent care and support to manage their health condition and avoid potential complications. In this context, it is of great importance to provide all diabetic patients with the medicine, technology, support and care they need, as well as to increase investments in diabetes care and prevention.
