The blue border of the circle reflects the colour of the sky under which we all stand and is the same colour as the flag of the United Nations. Indeed, the organization is itself a symbol of unity amongst nations. It is the only body that can signal to governments everywhere that it is time to reverse the global diabetes epidemic that threatens economic advancement and causes so much suffering.

Circles occur frequently in nature and have thus been used symbolically since the dawn of civilization. The circle is the sun, the moon, and the stars that guide us; it is the first ripple in the pond. The significance of the circle is overwhelmingly positive. http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp
Across cultures, the circle symbolizes life, mother earth and health. Most significantly for the campaign, the circle signifies unity. The global diabetes community must come together to support a United Nations Resolution on diabetes. Our combined strength is the key element that makes this campaign so special. http://www.unitefordiabetes.org/campaign/material.html
