"I am 50 years old. Until two years back, everybody used to shun me, even my grandchildren. I had ugly and festering wounds that would not heal. I did not know that the reason my wounds did not heal was because I was diabetic. I thought I had nothing to look forward to in my life. That was two years ago.

A lot has changed since then. A lot of transformation has taken place. In people around me, in my village and in my life. The Organisation's diabetes care has taken care of it. My wounds have healed and people have stopped avoiding me.

Now, I want one of my grandchildren to be a doctor one day and transform lives by healing people"
 

Diabetes Management

It was commonly assumed that diabetes was a disease that was more prevalent in cities and had in fact been termed a 'rich man's disease'. This was because there had been several cases of the disease that had remained undetected. With the Organisation's initiatives revealing a startling incidence of a little over 4% of the rural population affected, diabetes has assumed sinister proportions.
