November 14 – International Selfie Day / World Diabetes Day

Do you know what a blue circle like this represents?


The Blue Circle is a universal symbol for diabetes. Today we are asked to increase awareness of this disease and of the Blue Circle symbol by taking a selfie, positioning a blue circle somewhere on the photo, and sharing the result on social media. We are also asked to use #WDD (World Diabetes Day) as well.




On this website, you can download the free Blue Circle app, available for iPhones/tablets and for Android phones/tablets.

Do you know what diabetes is? Do you know the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?

    I didn't know about the Blue Circle app until reading this! It’s a great symbol for World Diabetes Day awareness. Beyond the selfies, connecting with a knowledgeable diabetes specialist is essential for long-term health management. Thanks for sharing these helpful resources!
