The hope is that by raising awareness and educating people about diabetes, people that have a chance to prevent type 2 and gestational diabetes (type 1 isn’t currently preventable) will be able to do so.

As many as 366 million people have diabetes worldwide, according to the IDF. That number is predicted to rise to 552 million by 2030. Most of those people have type 2 diabetes, and many don’t even know they have the disease. In the United States, almost 26 million people have diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA).

Below are 10 short videos to help promote World Diabetes Day.

The campaign is making an impact, but the strong tactics are raising questions whether the negative campaign ads may cause stigmatization.
