On 14 November 2025, the global community marks World Diabetes Day, shining a spotlight on the theme “Diabetes across life stages”, recognising that from childhood, through reproductive years, working age and into older adulthood, diabetes can affect anyone. 

For regulated sectors in the UK, including health and social care, education, and workplaces, this day serves as a reminder that effective prevention, timely diagnosis, and inclusive support systems are key not only for individual well-being but also for compliance, safeguarding and organisational culture. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how organisations can integrate diabetes awareness into governance, workforce training, procurement, and well-being strategies, using systems like ComplyPlus™ to turn awareness into action and accountability.
