Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim November 14, 2025, as World Diabetes Day in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution calls on Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim November 14, 2025, as World Diabetes Day in New York State, highlighting the significance of raising awareness about this serious health condition. The resolution provides context about diabetes, noting that World Diabetes Day (WDD) was created in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and World Health Organization (WHO) to address the growing health threat posed by the disease. It emphasizes that type II diabetes now affects an estimated 425 million individuals worldwide, representing 90 percent of diabetes cases, and comes with substantial economic costs, estimated at $727 billion globally and $245 billion in the United States. The resolution commemorates Sir Frederick Banting, who co-discovered insulin in 1922, and underscores the importance of increasing public understanding and prevention of diabetes. By requesting the governor's proclamation, the legislative body aims to draw attention to this chronic condition and promote greater awareness and action at local, state, and national levels.
