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.

Our
Mission
Raising awareness, breaking barriers to care and celebrating resilience!
Our mission is more than support; it's about shedding light on the inequities in access to care, enhancing education through lived experiences and empowering all stakeholders in the diabetes community with empathetic interventions.
Our
Vision
Enabling a life marked by hope, dignity, and limitless possibilities.
We envision a future where health disparities are eradicated, and every individual with diabetes can manage their condition without the shadow of stigma or disparity - empowering individuals to thrive, not just survive.
Our
Values
Leveraging Lived Experiences
Our commitment to adding a lens of lived experiences to our initiatives ensures that every individual affected by diabetes receives empathetic support and care.

We hold ourselves accountable to concrete outcomes, to ensure that our initiatives bring about meaningful change globally.
Evidence-Based Education
We are committed to providing education for self-management that is accurate, reliable, and up-to-date - so that everyone in our community can make informed decisions.

Our Team
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.
