Dil Dosti Diabetes

Welcome to Dil Dosti Diabetes—a community experience created to bring people together through friendship, laughter, shared experiences, and connection.

Living with diabetes can be a journey filled with many different experiences, from everyday routines and challenges to relationships, work, travel, emotions, and everything in between. Dil Dosti Diabetes creates a welcoming space where people can meet others who understand that journey and celebrate the many parts of life beyond blood sugar numbers and daily routines.

The event is not designed as a traditional medical conference or lecture. Instead, it focuses on community, connection, conversations, and fun. Attendees can expect meaningful conversations, diabetes-themed games and activities, icebreakers, personal stories, laughter, and opportunities to build new friendships.

The experience is open to people living with different types of diabetes, along with caregivers and supporters. The initiative builds on The Diabesties Foundation's experience of hosting diabetes community meetups and aims to create a more inclusive space where people can connect through shared experiences.

Whether you have been living with diabetes for years or your journey has only recently begun, Dil Dosti Diabetes offers an opportunity to meet people who understand the highs, lows, challenges, and everyday realities that can come with diabetes.

Come as you are. Bring your stories, your laughter, and your willingness to connect. Meet new people, participate in fun activities, share experiences, and discover a community where you can feel understood without judgment.

Most importantly, this is a celebration of people—not just their diagnosis. It is about friendship, belonging, shared experiences, and remembering that life with diabetes can still be filled with connection, laughter, and wonderful moments.

Dil Dosti Diabetes is more than an event—it is an opportunity to meet people, build friendships, share experiences, and celebrate life beyond diabetes. Designed as a welcoming community gathering, it brings together people living with diabetes, caregivers, and supporters in a relaxed and engaging environment.
