Diabetes Caregivers Training Program at Yog Dhyan Foundation

Team EcDEESHA member Mridula Kapil Bhargava conducted a workshop at Yog Dhyan Foundation, Delhi for children with type-1 diabetes.

The workshop held on 2^nd of December, 2018 with cheering support from the adult type-1 diabetics, and parents included an introduction to healthy and unhealthy foods by Naman Sharma, a class sixth student and also a type 1 diabetes champion. He recited a self-composed poem on what healthy and unhealthy food is and how unhealthy food harms our body. This was followed by an activity where children sat in a big circle facing inside and they had to name one healthy and unhealthy food item alternatively without pausing at all. Failure to be quick, non-repetitive in one round or alternatively naming the healthy and unhealthy food item led the child to exit the game and now be the judge to check on other players making the same mistake. The workshop ended with a discussion on healthy eating benefits and its impact on overall health.

Dr.Anil Vedwal, Chief Functionary of Yog Dhyan Foundation concluded the workshop with a routine yoga session conducted in the classes every Sunday.
