300,788 children in India have Type 1 Diabetes. Most see their doctor once every three months. Sugar Sakhi is the physician in their pocket for the other 89 days. 24×7. AI-assisted. Free for families.
2 am. Mealtime. The school cricket field. We show up where the clinic can't.
Type 1 Diabetes is autoimmune, not lifestyle. It is not preventable. Perfect daily management is the only treatment. Every meal. Every dose. Every activity. In India, that management collapses in the 89 days between clinic visits.
India has one paediatric endocrinologist per ~30,000 T1D children. Appointments are spaced months apart. Between them, families have no structured way to flag a missed dose or a glucose spike.
75% of T1D children at B.J. Wadia Hospital had poor clinical follow-up in 2025. Diabetic ketoacidosis can develop within hours. Right now, it goes undetected until ER admission.
T1D education is delivered once. Nothing is personalised for Indian diet, regional language, or the school day. 37.5% of T1D children in India have poor quality-of-life scores.
"On any given Tuesday, we have 80 children waiting for a 15-minute consult. The system isn't broken. It's just stretched past every margin."
Diabetes OPD, B.J. Wadia Hospital, Mumbai
One platform. Three pillars. Built at Wadia, designed for India, free for the families that need it.
Every conversation, glucose log, missed dose, and red flag flows straight to your child's doctor. No waiting for the next OPD slot.
Pattern detection across glucose, food, insulin, and mood. Early warnings to parents and clinicians, before a 2am crisis becomes a 4am hospital admission.
Carb counting for Indian food. Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Gujarati, English. School-day, festival, and illness protocols built in.
These are the families we built this for. Names changed. Everything else is real.
The first night after diagnosis, I sat up holding the glucose meter. I didn't sleep for a week. I was afraid I'd kill her by giving the wrong dose.
My school doesn't let me check sugar in class. The teacher said it 'distracts other children'. I check in the bathroom. Sometimes I forget.
We saved for two years to afford the CGM. It broke in three months. Now we're back to finger pricks, eight times a day. He flinches every time.
