Few people know that the world diabetes day and condensed milk patent date coincide! Indeed, every November 14, millions worldwide mark World Diabetes Day, dedicated to raising awareness about diabetes and promoting better care and prevention efforts.
The date officially commemorates the birthdate of Dr. Frederick Banting, co-discoverer of insulin, and the transformative effect his work had on diabetes treatment. However, there’s an unexpected historical quirk: November 14 is also the day that condensed milk, a high-sugar dairy product, was patented in 1856 by Gail Borden.
