Diabetes Camps

Living with type 1 diabetes may feel like a tricky and lonely journey, especially for children. Diabetes camps are a great way to learn diabetes life skills while having fun. With the support of dedicated peer leaders, Meethi Zindagi organizes annual Dia-Camps for children in Pakistan.

During Dia-Camps, fun-based activities help educate children to better self-manage. These activities draw inspiration from the League of Diabetes (LOD) and the Diabetes Education and Camping Association (DECA) and are culturally tailored by Meethi Zindagi.
