Sharing his pleasure at meeting so many children with type 1 diabetes, BraisDacal, who has himself been managing diabetes since the age of 7, said: "I was so impressed with how many people came to meet. It was a huge pleasure to talk to all of them. The most important reason the team exists is to inspire children and people with diabetes, so every time they come to support us, I feel like we are really changing diabetes."
Reiterating the need to create awareness about physical activity in diabetes management, Melvin D'souza, Managing Trustee, Novo Nordisk Education Foundation said: "We have a mission to ensure every child with type 1 diabetes lives a healthy life. Our CDiC programme is currently helping over 4000 children in India, by providing them free medication and healthcare advice. Having examples like BriasDacal, inspires us, as well as children with diabetes and their parents with hope for a positive future."
