Assembly Resolution No. 1084

BY: M. of A. Lunsford

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 November 14, 2026, as World Diabetes Day in the
 State of New York

 WHEREAS, The State of New York takes great pride in recognizing
serious diseases by proclaiming official days dedicated to increasing
awareness of such concerns impacting citizens of New York State; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, it is the sense of this Legislative Body to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim November 14, 2026, as
World Diabetes Day in the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, World Diabetes Day (WDD) was created in 1991 by IDF and the
World Health Organization in response to growing concerns about the
escalating health threat posed by diabetes; and

 WHEREAS, World Diabetes Day became an official United Nations Day in
2006 with the passage of United Nation Resolution 61/225; it is marked
every year on November 14th, the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, who
co-discovered insulin along with Charles Best in 1922; and

 WHEREAS, Diabetes is considered to have been around since 1550 BC;
the successful extraction and injection of insulin into humans was
discovered in 1922; so, comparatively, our understanding of diabetes is
quite new compared to its long, arduous march through history; and

 WHEREAS, The difference between type II and type I started around
1850, where medical professionals at the time believed they knew enough
of the difference between the two to warrant two categories; and

 WHEREAS, Since then, type II diabetes has ballooned to 90 percent of
those affected, with an estimated $425 million individuals affected
worldwide; and

 WHEREAS, This alarming rise in such a preventable disease is one of
the reasons the WHO and IDF wanted to create World Diabetes Day, to help
spread awareness of how to prevent contracting the illness; and

 WHEREAS, Having to manage blood sugar levels on a daily basis is a
time-consuming and costly endeavor; the economic cost of diabetes
globally is around $727 billion (USD) and in the U.S. alone, it costs
almost a third of that at $245 billion; and

 WHEREAS, The costliness and its prevention create even more reason
for us to spread awareness of diabetes, and also celebrate the birth of
the man who helped bring insulin into the modern world as an effective
treatment against this disease; and

 WHEREAS, It is imperative that there be greater awareness of this
serious disease, and more must be done to increase activity at the
local, State, and National levels; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim November 14, 2026, as
World Diabetes Day in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
