October 11 – November 7
Every year, people across the globe celebrate World Diabetes Day (WDD). And we’ll be celebrating right here in Rhode Island, virtually, on Saturday, November 13. There are many ways you can get involved and support this important day- and take steps toward a healthier you.
This four-week challenge is designed to support you in building healthy habits to help you improve your health.
2021 Rhode to Wellness launches on October 11 and ends on November 7. You can do this… and we’re here to help. Be sure to attend the virtual kick-off for the Challenge on October 6.

On Saturday, November 13, we’ll be hosting a half day of helpful, eye-opening, and inspirational online presentations, discussions and much more. You can join for the entire morning or choose the topics that most interest you.
Keep an eye on the Providence skyline during the week leading up to RIWDD (Nov. 7-14) - when we'll be lighting up the RI State House in blue in recognition of RIWDD!
Each year the Rhode Island World Diabetes Day (RIWDD) Committee recognizes an individual or organization that has positively impacted diabetes in the state of Rhode Island by awarding the Grace Diaz Blue Light Award. In keeping with the international theme for World Diabetes Day 2021, “Access to Care”, this year’s Blue Light Award will be presented to a Rhode Islander who has shown a commitment to providing access to diabetes care.
