About Us
Empowering Lives. Illuminating Futures
The Light Diabetes Organisation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals affected by diabetes. Since 2022, we have worked passionately to provide education, support, advocacy, and access to essential resources for people living with diabetes and those at risk.
We were founded with a clear purpose: to shine a light on diabetes and guide individuals, families, and communities toward healthier and more informed lives. We understand that diabetes is more than a medical condition—it affects emotional well-being, lifestyle choices, and long-term health. That is why our approach goes beyond treatment to include education, prevention, and community support.

Our team includes endocrinologists, dietitians, diabetes educators, mental health professionals, and community health workers who collaborate to deliver comprehensive and people-centred support.
We believe that with the right information, encouragement, and access to care, individuals can effectively manage diabetes and reduce complications. Our work spans education, screening, prevention, advocacy, and community outreach, ensuring that no one feels alone on their diabetes journey.
Inclusivity and accessibility are at the heart of everything we do. We strive to make our services and resources available to people of all backgrounds, particularly underserved communities, by working closely with local partners and healthcare providers.
