Khushbu

Hey my name is khushbu. I am from Dehradun, Uttarakhand, and I have been living with Type 1 Diabetes since 2016. When I was diagnosed, neither I nor my family knew much about diabetes or how to manage it. It was a difficult and confusing time for us.

Everything changed after I became a part of UDAI. Since then, my journey with diabetes has become much easier and more manageable.

Every month, UDAI organizes meetings where Dr. Ashish and the founder of UDAI, Mrs. Rekha, guide people with Type 1 Diabetes and their parents. They teach us how to manage diabetes effectively and live a healthy, confident life. These sessions are not just educational—they are truly motivating. Meeting others who are on the same journey gives us hope, confidence, and the feeling that we are never alone.

Through UDAI’s support, essential diabetes care supplies like glucose monitoring machines and test strips have become much more accessible for families who may not be able to afford them easily.

Today, it has been 10 years since I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I am doing well in my personal and professional life because I have learned how to manage my diabetes effectively—and a big part of that credit goes to UDAI. I am truly grateful to be a part of this wonderful organization. UDAI has made a real difference in my life, and I hope it continues to empower many more people living with Type 1 Diabetes.
