Hello.

A slightly strange question, the forum is really for questions about Diabetes itself but never mind.

I'm in London and can't think of any particular celebration happening here on that date. There is the Lord Mayors show a few days later..it's probably best if you do a Google search to see if there is anything specific happening.

November 14th is World Diabetes Day.

I know that some of the Bridges in the city are illuminated with blue lights and the London Eye but do not know of any specific events this year. Last year there was a walk around the bridges.

It is probably best to email or phone http://www.diabetes.org.uk/ as they will probably be able to help.

I did find this on DCUK front pages.
http://www.diabetes.co.uk/World-Diabetes-Day.html It explains a bit more about it and why the date is significant......

Ahem.

I am now looking around for a hole in the ground big enough to swallow me up..

Don't worry Ladybird,
You were not aware of anything.

At least your post has highlighted World Diabetes Day so it wasn't all bad.
