About Us

Leveraging technology is a game changer in today's world and a necessity for sustainability, accessibility and impact - Diabetes Education is no different. It is a vital part of empowering people with Type 1 Diabetes. Standardized diabetes education resources have been co created with HCPs and type 1 diabetes community in a way that can scale up and continue provision of services even in situations of political turmoil or pandemics and for remote access with less reliance on human resources.

Meethi Zindagi, a not for profit in collaboration with DigiBete UK, funded by the World Diabetes Foundation is providing you with a culturally tailored digital diabetes education web platform with standardized diabetes education resources to empower children and young people (CYP) with T1D and their families to better self-manage their condition and improve quality of life free of cost.

Those who do not have individualized access to smartphones and the internet will be facilitated with the same support in various public/private hospitals across Pakistan.
