The CDiC program is another initiative driven by NNEF in India. The vision of the Changing diabetes in children program is, “to initiate and strive to provide comprehensive diabetes care to the economically underprivileged children below 18 years with type1 diabetes”. The CDiC program helps in creating a platform for affordable and easily accessible of effective diabetes management for unprivileged children with Type-1 diabetes.
Key objective of the CDiC programme is to initiate and strive for comprehensive diabetes care for the economically underprivileged children with diabetes.
The long-term objectives of CDiC program are :
Describe diabetes management, control status and complication profile in children with type1 DM
Evaluate the impact of patient/family education on diabetes control
Raise awareness of childhood diabetes among HCPs, policy makers and the community at large.
Due to the complexity of diabetes in children, this problem requires a coordinated approach that targets all barriers to care. For this reason, the changing diabetes in children programme is implemented in collaboration with both international and local partners which include Novo Nordisk, Roche, ISPAD and dedicated group of health care professionals.
