Summary: Diabetic Awareness and screening in schools in Pune, India
India has one of the highest number of Type 1 Diabetic patients in the world and approximately 30% of which are school going children under the age of 20. Many of these young students, their parents and teachers are unaware to recognize the symptoms of
Type 1 diabetes. Some students have died as a result of not recognizing the symptoms and lack of awareness.
Blue Circle Foundation, a non-profit organization (NGO) in Pune India, is currently devoted to bring awareness, educate and train teachers and school going students about Type 1 diabetes. They have conducted several workshops in schools to bring awareness and also provide initial screening with Blood Glucose meters.
