World Diabetes Day is marked every year on November 14, the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, who in 1922 co-discovered insulin with Charles Best. It is observed in more than 160 countries, reaching 1 billion people. 34.2 million Americans, 10.5% of the population, have diabetes and 88 million American adults, approximately 1 in 3, have prediabetes.
