It’s time for South Africa’s biggest diabetes awareness campaign! #WearBlueforDiabetes. We want the whole of South Africa to wear blue on World Diabetes Day, Thursday 14th November 2024.

Why? So that every South African will know the 5 symptoms of diabetes.

We all know the terrifying stats: Diabetes is the number one killer of women in South Africa, the number two killer of men. 1 in 2 people with diabetes is undiagnosed. We need all South Africans to know the 5 symptoms of diabetes as well as they know the symptoms of a cold. That’s our goal here.

Wearing blue is easy, diabetes is not.

Whether it’s your team at work, or your local school, your group of friends or just your family, wearing blue is not a difficult thing to do. We all have something blue in our wardrobes. But the impact of wearing blue in support of people with diabetes is immense. Diabetes is a 24/7/365 chronic condition. It can feel very lonely – even when you’re part of a community like Sweet Life. Seeing people unaffected by diabetes visibly showing support makes a huge difference.
