Sweet Souls

Sweet Souls An initiative to bring together families with Type 1 Diabetes to create a support community Please share and support to take this cause forward!

Type 1 Diabetes is an auto immune disorder that affects thousands of young people all over the world. In this condition the pancreas stops producing Insulin, a hormone required to convert food to energy. Insulin has to be administered externally through injections or an insulin pump. People with Type 1 Diabetes have to monitor their blood sugar levels and balance their insulin dosages with food an

d physical activities. In India too, the incidence of T1D is increasing, so is the need for a support system. Organisations like Juvenile Diabetic Research Foundation are very active in many parts of the world and are constantly providing resources and updates on research and managing Diabetes. The presence of any such support in India or specifically in the city of Hyderabad is not known and many children in need of information, resources are left in distress. This page is an initiative to start a support group, first by bringing affected families together so that experiences and resources can be shared.

☕✨ Sweet Souls Coffee Meet-up with UoH PhD Scholars ✨☕

On Friday, 17th April, Sweet Souls had a wonderful coffee meet-up with University of Hyderabad (UoH) PhD scholars, Ashok garu garu and Karthik garu, at the Secunderabad Sailing Club. 🌊🏞️

As part of their collaborative research between UNICEF and UoH on non-communicable diseases (NCDs), they interviewed our NGO to learn more about Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and the role of society in transforming lives of children and adults living with it. This research will contribute towards assessing the impact of NCDs and submitting valuable insights to the Telangana government. 🏛️

💡 During the discussion, we shared:
1️⃣ The motivation behind forming the society, along with its mission and vision. Our community strengths such as supportive doctors, allied healthcare professionals and trained diabetes educators (most of them are living with t1D) and parents having children with t1d.
2️⃣ The importance of support groups and trained healthcare professionals in improving lives.
3️⃣ Socio-economic, schools challenges and stigma faced by families.
4️⃣ Our ongoing activities, educational events, and future plans.
5️⃣ The support received from Telangana state and our advocacy efforts.
6️⃣ Recommendations to involve T1D advocates and people living with T1D in expert committees and policy making.

🤝 It was an enriching meeting, filled with passion and commitment to bring change in the lives of children and adults living with T1D. We are excited to collaborate with these dedicated public health professionals and organize events for children with Type 1 Diabetes.

🙏 Special thanks to Ashok garu and Karthik garu for approaching us for this interview. Sweet Souls is always ready to support and encourage T1D-related research. 🌟

🚴‍♀️ Meet K. Deeksh*tha — a 13-year-old cyclist who has proudly earned her place at the Nationals, proving that Type 1 Diabetes can never dim true determination. 💙🔥

“Pedal to the top” isn’t just a caption — it’s her journey. 🚴‍♀️✨

Her Story📖
Diagnosed at a very young age, Deeksh*tha learned to balance insulin, nutrition, play, and performance. With every prick, every check, and every moment of patience, she grew stronger. 💉💪 What began as curiosity turned into passion — and passion into discipline. ❤️‍🔥

Her diabetes management has been closely guided by her endocrinologist, Dr. Leenatha Jakidi, who ensured she stays healthy, confident, and competition-ready. 🩺💙

As her interest deepened, she started training seriously for track cycling under the mentorship of her cycling coach, Dr. Maxwell Trevor, whose world-class guidance sharpened her technique, endurance, and competitive spirit. 🚴‍♀️🔥

Her hard work, consistency, and fearless spirit paved the way for something big — her selection for the National Track Cycling Championship.🏅🚴‍♀️

National Track Cycling Championship — Uttarakhand | December 19, 2025📍⛰️

Preparing for the nationals meant tougher rides, tighter routines, and mastering glucose management during high-intensity sessions. With the guidance of her coaches and the unwavering support of her parents, Vijay Kumar and Bhargavi, she continued to push her limits with discipline and heart. 💙👨‍👩‍👧

From local races to regional events, her performance spoke louder than any challenge. 📈🌟 And now, that same determination is taking her all the way to the national stage.

Her story proves that with the right support, smart management, and a brave heart, T1D is not a barrier — it's just part of the journey. 💪💙

SweetSouls applauds you, Deeksh*tha. Keep inspiring. Keep pedalling. 🌟🚴‍♀️💙

🩵 Myth vs Fact: Type 1 Diabetes Edition 💉

❌ Myth: Can diet alone manage T1D?
✅ Fact: No, insulin is essential. Diet complements treatment but can’t replace insulin.

Balanced food habits support better blood glucose control, but insulin remains the lifeline for every person with Type 1 Diabetes 💙

❌ అపోహ: ఆహారంతోనే టైప్ 1 డయాబెటిస్‌ నియంత్రించవచ్చా?
✅ నిజం: కాదు, ఇన్సులిన్ తప్పనిసరి. ఆహారం చికిత్సకు తోడ్పడుతుంది కానీ ఇన్సులిన్‌ను భర్తీ చేయలేడు.

సమతుల్యమైన ఆహారం చక్కెర నియంత్రణకు సహాయపడుతుంది కానీ ఇన్సులిన్ జీవనాధారం 💙

🩵 Myth vs Fact: Type 1 Diabetes Edition 💉

❌ Myth: Can sugar cause T1D?
✅ Fact: No! Sugar doesn’t cause Type 1 Diabetes.
T1D is an autoimmune condition — the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

Let’s bust myths and spread awareness 💪💙 Because understanding is the first step toward empathy and support!

❌ అపోహ: చక్కెర తింటే టైప్ 1 డయాబెటిస్ వస్తుందా?
✅ నిజం: కాదు! చక్కెర వల్ల టైప్ 1 డయాబెటిస్ రాదు.
ఇది ఒక ఆటో ఇమ్యూన్ పరిస్థితి — మన శరీరంలోని ఇమ్యూన్ సిస్టమ్ పొరపాటుగా ఇన్సులిన్ ఉత్పత్తి చేసే సెల్స్‌పై దాడి చేస్తుంది.

మనమంతా కలసి ఈ అపోహలను తొలగిద్దాం 💙💪
తెలుసుకోవడం మొదటి అడుగు — అర్థం చేసుకోవడానికీ, మద్దతు ఇవ్వడానికీ.

🚫 Myth: Can Type 1 Diabetes be caught like a cold?
💡 Fact: No, Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune condition — not contagious! It can’t be caught or spread from one person to another.

అపోహ: టైప్ 1 డయాబెటీస్ జలుబు లా పట్టుతుందా?

వాస్తవం: కాదు! టైప్ 1 డయాబెటీస్ ఒక ఆటో ఇమ్యూన్ వ్యాధి. ఇది ఎవరినుంచీ ఎవరికీ పట్టదు లేదా వ్యాపించదు.
