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

AI Summary

This resolution seeks to memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim November 14, 2025, as World Diabetes Day in New York State, recognizing the significant global health impact of diabetes. The resolution highlights that World Diabetes Day (WDD) was created in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and World Health Organization (WHO) to raise awareness about the escalating health threat of diabetes, and it is celebrated on November 14th, the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, who co-discovered insulin in 1922. The document emphasizes the substantial prevalence of type II diabetes, which affects an estimated 425 million individuals worldwide, and underscores the immense economic burden of the disease, which costs approximately $727 billion globally and $245 billion in the United States annually. By requesting this proclamation, the Legislative Body aims to increase public awareness about diabetes prevention, management, and the ongoing challenges associated with this serious medical condition, while also honoring the medical breakthrough that made insulin treatment possible.
