Diabetes isn't just a diagnosis but a lifestyle shift that impacts various aspects of our well-being. With a positive mindset and expert advice, navigating the journey of living with diabetes can be made easy. TOI Medithon brings to you the Live Well with Diabetes campaign in the form of a series of awareness videos about diabetes aiming to empower individuals with the lifestyle disorder.

The video series titled Diabetes Demystified: Live Well with Expert Insights, will go live on July 24, 11 am onwards and can be directly accessed on FB Live on TOI.
