About World Diabetes Day

World Diabetes Day is one of the international days on the United Nations list. The UN uses these days to draw attention to an issue and to what people around the world are doing about it.

In 2026 it falls on a Saturday; in 2027 it’s on Sunday 14 November, and in 2028 on Tuesday 14 November. This time it falls at the weekend; some countries move the day off to a weekday when that happens. Also in November 2026: National Pickle Day (14 Nov), International Day against Illicit Trafficking in Cultural Property (14 Nov) and National Spicy Hermit Cookie Day (15 Nov). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.

How we work out the date
It’s on 14 November every year, as set by the United Nations.
