Juvenile Diabetes Foundation

Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (JDF) is a registered trust that was set up in 1982 by a handful of doctors and parents of a few insulin-dependent diabetic children. The objective of the foundation is to provide moral support to diabetic children and youth apart from catering to the physical, emotional, psychological, and medical needs of its members. JDF is a voluntary organization and has at the service of its members, diabetologists, pediatricians, psychiatrists, diabetes educators, counselors, and dietitians who work on honorary basis while the administrative work is by and large handled by its members who serve voluntarily.
Today, JDF’s activities are centered on:
Medical and dietary education
Psychological counseling and emotional care
Annual three-day and one-day intensive medical and educational camps
Social get-togethers and picnics
