Type 1 Diabetes Advocacy and Awareness

Friends of Mewar began working closely with The Diabesties Foundation, a not-for-profit organization, dedicated to T1D awareness, advocacy, and access to the right medical care for people from all walks of life, living with T1D. The foundation also caters to caregivers and healthcare providers across the nation, with a mission of creating a well-rounded and inclusive community that makes every person living with T1D seen, heard, loved, and supported.

On August 14th, 2022 we co-hosted our first DiaMeet, a celebration of living with T1D in Udaipur, and plan to host even more celebratory and educational events for healthcare workers and the T1D community soon. DiaMeets are a fun support group session where those with T1D can network with others in the T1D community, learn more about managing their condition from experts, and get inspired by each other’s stories of survival and hope!

This collaboration aims to support awareness and advocacy of T1D through funding and organizing events in Udaipur. Through your support, we hope to continue hosting similar events dedicated to creating awareness and spreading T1D education to Indian society and the underserved T1D community.  

If you have T1D and want more information and support, visit www.diabesties.foundation or WhatsApp message their helpline at +91 91577 21309.
