Yog Dhyan Foundation (YDF), a registered Indian Trust since 1985, is committed to providing quality life to children with Type 1 (insulin dependent) Diabetes Mellitus (T1D) and their families. Like other chronic ailments, T1D poses several challenges in the life of affected children – the need for multiple daily pricks for blood sugar testing and insulin, the frequent blood sugar fluctuations, and the constant worry about low and high blood sugars, have an impact on the children’s academics, socio-psychological well being, and personal relationships. A small number have to cope with the twin challenges of T1D and celiac disease (wheatallergy).
