One promise can save a foot, an eye, a kidney.
Most damage from diabetes is silent until it is late. A few simple habits catch it early. Choose one, make it a promise, and share your card so the people you love make theirs.

Why these promises
Diabetes rarely hurts until the damage is done.
India has more than 10 crore adults living with diabetes, and many more with prediabetes. The complications grow quietly for years. Each promise below is a simple check that finds them early, when they can still be treated.
Look every day
Nerve damage can hide a small cut. A daily look, and a doctor's foot check every year, catches it before it becomes an ulcer.
A retina check every year
Early diabetic eye damage gives no warning. A check with dilating drops finds it while sight can still be protected.
Two tests every year
A urine albumin test and a blood creatinine test pick up kidney damage years before any symptom.
Know your numbers
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in people with diabetes. Blood pressure and cholesterol matter as much as sugar.
Run the promise with your group
Make a link for your group. Everyone who makes a promise through it is counted for your group, and you can tell us when you want the number.
Give it to your patients
Share the link in your clinic WhatsApp group or on your waiting room screen. Patients choose a promise that matches what you already advise them, in their own words, and their family sees it.

Questions
About the Diabetes Promise
- Who runs this?
- Caspian Healthcare Foundation, an NGO in Hyderabad working on diabetes, obesity and preventive health. The promise is free and is part of our World Diabetes Day work.
- Is the risk check a diagnosis?
- No. The Indian Diabetes Risk Score tells you how likely you are to have or develop type 2 diabetes. Only a blood test, such as fasting blood sugar or HbA1c, can tell you whether you have it.
- What happens to my details?
- Your name and promise make your card. Your risk check answers stay on your phone. Your WhatsApp number is used only for the two reminders you agreed to, and only if you gave it. Read the privacy policy.
- Can I make a promise for more than one person?
- Yes. Make one for yourself and one for each person you care about. Each gets its own card and link.
- I have made my promise. What next?
- Keep it, and talk to your doctor about the check you promised. If you need a test in Hyderabad, Caspian Diagnostic Centre in Vijaynagar Colony does the blood and urine tests: caspianlabs.in.
