ABOUT US
DIABETES INDIA YOUTH IN ACTION
Founded in 2017 by an enthusiastic group of Type 1 diabetics in Delhi, Diabetes India Youth in Action (DIYA) is a non for profit organization that aims to de-stigmatize and raise awareness about Diabetes.

It not only provides education and recreation within a giant supportive network of over 1000 people across the country, but also empowers the diabetics to understand and take control of their diagnosis.
