The IDF announced  that the global symbol for diabetes will be a blue circle that indicates and makes the world realise that diabetes still means nothing to millions of people. The blue circle will also remind us to increase awareness about the condition globally, given the fact that people don’t take it seriously despite knowing its seriousness.
