Clarification of "official" international status
editEdits are needed to this article to clarify that World Diabetes Day is not an "official" global health day recognized by the World Health Organization. Some other pages of the 8 official WHO campaigns (http://www.who.int/campaigns/en/) also erroneously insinuate as such. I have tried to correct them where I find them.

- Edits are also needed as to some of the statements presented here, such as "People with diabetes get to take a day off work or school on this day" - with no evidence supporting this day as a statutory holiday in any country. Guptan99 (talk) 15:06, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
