Our Story
Our journey began with a personal quest. After confronting the challenges of living with Type 1 Diabetes in solitude for nearly a decade, our founder Jazz, decided to seek out camaraderie by extending her hand to others living with the condition through her doctor's network.
This initiative blossomed into the first Diameet, which happened in June 2018. This was more than just a gathering of 25-30 people living with Type 1 Diabetes - it was a moment of profound realization and warmth - that our own, each one of us is resilient, but together, we can be a force to be reckoned with!
A month later, The Diabesties Foundation officially took flight. We took our baby steps by launching a YouTube channel to make diabetes education more simple, relatable and accessible for the Type 1 Diabetes community in India.
And today, we are honored to have several of our projects recognized as game changing movements in the global Diabetes community.

At Diabesties, we're all about leveling the playing field when it comes to diabetes care. It's not just about treatment; it's about making sure everyone, no matter who they are or where they come from, feels seen, heard and supported. If this is something that you resonate with, or if any of the following statements make you go - “Hey! That sounds like me!”, we’d love to have you on board:
- You believe in the power of personal stories and lived experiences.
- You don’t believe in “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”
- You are not merely a passive observer; you want to be an influencer of change.
- You believe that service can be elevated by science, empathy and creativity.
