Our Mission

Diabetes doesn't have to
be India's silent epidemic

"DiabFit exists to help 100 million people detect and prevent diabetes before it becomes irreversible."
स्वास्थ्यं सर्वार्थसाधनम्
"Health is the means to achieve all goals"

India is the diabetes capital of the world — and most people don't know they're at risk

136 million Indians have diabetes. Another estimated 136 million are prediabetic — and the vast majority have no idea. Prediabetes causes no symptoms. It doesn't hurt. It doesn't show up in a mirror. But left undetected, it almost always progresses to Type 2 diabetes within 5–10 years.

Why this is a crisis right now

  • South Asians develop diabetes at lower BMI thresholds than Western populations — standard BMI charts miss us
  • The average Indian waits until symptoms appear before getting tested — by then, damage has started
  • A full HbA1c blood test costs ₹300–600 and requires a doctor visit — most people skip it for years
  • Prediabetes is fully reversible with lifestyle changes — but only if caught in time
  • India spends ₹5 lakh crore annually managing diabetes complications — prevention costs a fraction

A 3-minute screening that checks what your BMI misses

DiabFit is a clinically validated risk screening tool built on the ADA/WHO FINDRISC questionnaire, adapted specifically for India. It checks 17 risk factors — including family history, blood pressure, sleep, stress, waist size, and previous blood sugar history — that a simple BMI reading completely ignores.

In 3 minutes, anyone in India can know their real prediabetes risk level, get a shareable certificate card, and if at risk, receive a personalised 30-day Indian diet and activity plan to start reversing that risk today.

Not just another health app

🧬

India-specific thresholds

South Asians are at risk from BMI 23, not 25. We use WHO-recommended Indian thresholds — not Western charts.

📊

17 risk factors, not just weight

Family history, sleep, stress, blood pressure — all the things a BMI chart ignores but a doctor checks.

🏆

Social movement, not just a tool

Shareable certificate cards turn a health screening into a cultural signal — like a blue tick, but for health.

Mapping India's risk

Every screening (with consent) contributes to an anonymised map of prediabetes risk across Indian cities.

🍛

Real Indian food plans

Dal, sabzi, roti, millets — not smoothie bowls and kale salads. Plans that actually work in Indian kitchens.

₹6

Less than a cup of chai

The barrier to knowing your risk should be zero. At ₹6, we've made it as close to free as commercially viable.

What we stand for

Prevention over treatment

Catching prediabetes at ₹6 is infinitely better than treating diabetes at ₹5 lakh per year. We exist at the front of the pipeline.

India-first design

Every threshold, every food suggestion, every language choice is designed for the reality of Indian bodies and Indian kitchens.

Privacy by default

We never store health measurements. Name and city only, with explicit consent. Data is aggregated and anonymised for public health insight.

Evidence-based, always

Built on the validated ADA/WHO FINDRISC questionnaire. We say "risk screening" — not "diagnosis." Honesty about what we are.

Built by a preventive health care initiator

🩺
Preventive Health Care Initiator

DiabFit Team

DiabFit was conceived, designed, and built by people who believe that preventive health care — not reactive treatment — is the only sustainable answer to India's diabetes crisis. We are not a hospital. We are not a pharmaceutical company. We are health advocates who think access to a ₹6 screening should be as easy as buying a samosa.

We use the ADA-validated FINDRISC questionnaire, adapted for South Asian clinical thresholds, reviewed for Indian dietary and lifestyle context. Our work is grounded in public health science — not wellness trends.

What DiabFit is — and what it is not

DiabFit is a risk screening tool, not a diagnostic device. It uses the validated ADA/WHO FINDRISC questionnaire to estimate prediabetes risk based on self-reported information. It does not diagnose prediabetes or diabetes. Only a qualified doctor and a blood test (HbA1c or fasting plasma glucose) can provide a medical diagnosis.

If DiabFit shows moderate or high risk, we strongly encourage you to book an HbA1c test and consult your doctor. The 30-day plan we provide is general wellness guidance — not medical advice or a treatment protocol.
