World Diabetes Day is aimed at promoting actions that increase knowledge, awareness and attention to the disease.

In 2017, the International Diabetes Federation draws attention to the incidence of diabetes in women, with 200 million cases worldwide. Gender dynamics that persist in current societies, causing socioeconomic inequality, affect the search for care, the adoption of healthy habits and access to health services by women.
