Best Indian Diabetes Educator Award - DAY

Invitation for Self-nomination

‘Best Indian Diabetes Educator of the Year (2022-23)’ & ‘Best Indian Junior Diabetes Educator of the Year (2022-23)’

Since inception in 2006, Diabetes Awareness & You (DAY) is striving for diabetes education for all via different activities with the MISSION: ‘Foster a Diabetes Aware Society & add healthy years to LIFE’. It is our staunch belief that Diabetes Educators are the key people in the diabetes management team and they play an important role in bridging the gap between the patient and the doctor.

We at DAY are continuously undertaking education programs for doctors & diabetes educators under ‘Diabetes Empowerment Education Program (DEEP) and have been successfully running the CCDE (Certificate Course for Diabetes Educator) course for the last 5 years, which is now UGC approved college [Raj Narendra Lal Khan Women’s College (Autonomous)] recognised course.

In recognition of the role of Diabetes Educators, ‘International Diabetes Educator’s Day’ was launched on September 5, 2016 by the then President of International Diabetes Federation (IDF), Dr. Shaukat Sadikot and got endorsed by ‘SAARC Diabetes Control 2030’ at Dhaka in 2019 and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2021. Since 2016, 5^th September is celebrated as ‘International Diabetes Educator’s Day’ every year.

DAYDEIC (DAY Diabetes Educator’s International Conference) was organized for the first time in India in 2016 with 125 participants from different countries. Since then, we have continued to organize this conference every year. In continuity of the tradition set, DAYDEIC is also being organized this year.

Since 2019, as part of DAYDEIC, we have also introduced the practice of recognizing the contributions of the Diabetes Educators through the ‘Best DAY Diabetes Educator of the Year’ award and Ms. Kajal Hansda, Diabetes Educator was the recipient of that prestigious award. In 2020, the award was expanded to all over India and renamed as ‘Best Indian Diabetes Educator of the Year ’. The award was won by Dr. Kavita Gupta from Nagpur, Maharastra. From last year, along with the ‘Best Indian Diabetes Educator of the Year (2020-21)’ we have introduced the ‘‘Best Indian Junior Diabetes Educator of the Year’’. In 2021, we didn’t get suitable candidate for the award ‘Best Indian Diabetes Educator (2020-21) and Ms. Shimanti Chandra from Kolkata, West Bengal has got the award ‘Best Indian Junior Diabetes Educator (2020-21). Similarly in 2022, we didn’t get suitable candidate for the award ‘Best Indian Diabetes Educator (2021-22) and Ms. Natasha Vora from Mumbai, Maharashtra has got the award ‘Best Indian Junior Diabetes Educator (2021-22).These awards usually be given on the occasion of ‘International Diabetes Educator’s Day, 5^th September (IDED)’and this year the same will be handed over at 8^th DAYDEIC (DAY Diabetes Educators International Conference) on 3rd September.
