The International Federation of Diabetes (IDF) has been making waves in the global diabetes community with its mission to improve the lives of people with diabetes and prevent the onset of the condition in those at risk. In December 2022, the IDF approved a strategic plan that will guide the Federation's activities until 2027. With two primary goals at its core, the strategy aims to improve the lives of those living with diabetes and prevent the onset of the condition in those who are at risk, while also securing access to affordable, high-quality diabetes care and education worldwide.

But that's not all. After more than a decade, the IDF has rebranded itself, signaling its renewed commitment to its mission. The new brand image features a hummingbird, affectionately known as the "bird of hope," which has been the official symbol of the International Diabetes Federation since 1980. This bird embodies the optimism and resilience of those living with diabetes as they navigate the challenges of managing their condition and facing its potential complications.

Over the years, the hummingbird logo has united millions of people worldwide in their fight against diabetes, providing a message of hope and inspiration. And with the IDF's renewed strategic plan and commitment to its mission, there's no doubt that the hummingbird will continue to soar high and inspire even more people in the years to come.
