Championing Diabetes Equity Through Action and Education
Breaking Barriers and Building Communities: Accessible Diabetes Care for Everyone.
We envision a reality where everyone with Type 1 Diabetes has access to life-saving insulin, education, and support—empowered to live fully, free from barriers and stigma.
The Diabesties Foundation adopts a multi-faceted approach, targeting health inequities and championing universal access to medication, medical literacy and education. We work with diverse stakeholders—including those with lived experience, caretakers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the industry— to eradicate gender and economic disparities in healthcare and create sustainable impact in the diabetes space.
Our Philosophy
Passion
Driven by a deep commitment to improving diabetes care, our passion fuels every initiative we undertake. We believe that true change comes from the heart, inspiring us to innovate and advocate tirelessly for those affected by diabetes.
Purpose
Our purpose is rooted in creating equitable access to diabetes care, education, and support. Each of us has personally faced gaps in healthcare, and these experiences drive us to empower individuals and communities, ensuring that everyone has the tools they need to thrive.
People
At the center of our mission are the people we serve—people with diabetes, caregivers, and advocates. Our entire team has lived experience with diabetes, allowing us to connect deeply with our community to prioritize their voices, experiences, and stories.

His Story
Kartik is a bright young boy from a low-income household. His life took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. On days when they must make difficult choices between buying groceries or purchasing Kartik’s insulin - they fear that the lack of resources may one day lead to Kartik succumbing to his condition.
Sometimes it is hard
to understand why diabetes happened to me - but I try to be brave boy for my Ma.
