Lets take a moment and support all our diabetic loved ones by wearing BLUE for the day....
The blue circle is known as the universal symbol for diabetes. The whole purpose was to give the diabetes an identity to raise more awareness, grab attention of the public and show support to fight against diabetes.
The symbol was originally developed for the campaign that resulted in the passage of United Nations Resolutions 61/225 "World Diabetes Day."
Why a circle? the shape occurs frequently in nature and has been used a lot. its significance is overwhelming and positive. In various cultures it symbolizes unity, life and health thats what made the campaign strong and special.
Why blue? simply its the color of the sky and the United Nations which is a symbol of unity and its the only nation that is signaling all governments to fight diabetes.
The symbol is owned by the International Diabetes Federation.
I never knew that this symbol had a powerful cause to fight a very common disease.
Please Spread Awareness to Fight Diabetes.
