Even with the most dedicated effort, our doctors and care providers have not been able to provide much needed lifestyle coaching and continual care that is core to successful diabetes management. A scalable and effective tool like ‘Wellthy Diabetes’ is now available to every doctor in India to support their efforts and make continual care a reality in India. This is a landmark innovation and I am happy RSSDI has armed itself with an effective weapon in the war against diabetes.” Dr. S V Madhu,PastPresident RSSDI(2014-15)“RSSDI has been doing a lot of research on Diabetes management in India since a long time.
