Meethi Zindagi - MZ

Meethi Zindagi is a peer support organization aiming to target environmental, educational, health, and psychosocial factors affecting the lives of the diabetes community, and improving it by the provision of social support. Being a “health-focused” organization, we understand that health is a human story. There‘s a lot more to living with diabetes than just taking medicines, restricting diet, and getting blood tests done! Diabetes is not only a lifetime condition for a few, it is a fast-growing health challenge that is spreading everywhere like wildfire! We believe that this challenging health condition needs to be focused on while keeping the “human story” in mind! A person living with diabetes must be at the center of the healthcare systems that he has to deal with. Therefore, we envision a strong partnership between care providers and people living with diabetes for empowerment, peer support, awareness, health education, and advocacy for the rights of those living with or at risk of diabetes and its co-morbidities.

Being a community-centric association, we’re focusing on fundamental yet unmet medical and social needs of the diabetes community, and how to address them. We also understand that there is lesser awareness about the less common types of diabetes and so there is lesser support available to people having them. Meethi Zindagi helps such groups and people with not only education and psychological counseling, but also with their life-saving medication! Meethi Zindagi aims to be an instrumental factor in moving people with diabetes from the bottom to the top of patient-centered healthcare systems. Foremost of all, Meethi Zindagi believes in the power of people with diabetes as advocates and change influencers. We rely on the empowered diabetes community for the realization of our vision of a great life despite diabetes!
