"World Diabetes Day is the primary global awareness campaign of the diabetes
mellitus world and is held on November 14 of each year. It was introduced in
1991 by the International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organization
in response to the alarming rise of diabetes around the world. World Diabetes
Day is a campaign that features a new theme chosen by the International Diabetes
Federation each year to address issues facing the global diabetes community.
While the campaigns last the whole year, the day itself marks the birthday of
Frederick Banting who, along with Charles Best, first conceived the idea which
led to the discovery of insulin in 1922."

"The World Diabetes Day logo is available for download in over 60 languages.
The World Diabetes Day logo is the blue circle - the global symbol for diabetes
which was developed as part of the Unite for Diabetes awareness campaign. The
logo was adopted in 2007 to mark the passage of the United Nations World
Diabetes Day Resolution. It is a simple icon that can be easily adapted and
widely adopted, the circle symbolizes life and health. The colour blue reflects
the sky that unites all nations. The blue circle signifies the unity of the
global diabetes community in response to the diabetes pandemic."

This picture is the 86m flagpole in Surrey, BC. The flag is probably 20x40 ft
(6x12m). So, there is at least one more size. The picture I took that day shows
a dark blur on a pale flag (and rain on my windshield) so I didn't provide it.
