About

T1 Diams.

T1 Diams comes from “Ti Diamants” which means small diamonds.

T1 Diams was founded to address the urgent needs of people with type 1 diabetes in Mauritius, who faced challenges in accessing proper care, education, and support.

“When I was diagnosed, the situation for kids with that condition wasn’t positive. T1 Diams gave me hope that someone with diabetes could live normally. The first Diabetic Camp is my favorite memory—meeting young diabetics, sharing moments, challenges, and learning to face the disease.”

“When he saw others with diabetes, Araav felt less lonely, he knew there were other kids like him. During lockdown, T1 Diams did everything to help us out, so that I can take care of my son. Whatever trouble I have, I call T1 Diams and they’re here for me.”

“I remember when I was little, around 5 years old, T1 Diams had organized a magic show that I loved. I met a boy there and to this day we’re still friends.”

“They made me feel like I wasn’t alone in life, that they were other people just like me.”

“At school when I just got in, my classmates would say “oh, look at that girl, she’s a junkie”, that hurt me. Then, T1 Diams intervened in school and my classmates started to support me. Every time I get hypoglycemia, they tell the teacher so I can take some sugar.”
