Healdi Founder’s story

When my father was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, our family started on a journey that exposed the challenges of managing this chronic condition. We found ourselves juggling his blood sugar levels, mental health, several doctor visits, and nutritional requirements. It felt like we were continuously arranging treatment from a wide range of healthcare professionals. My father heroically dealt with diabetes for nearly two decades, but not without substantial struggle and frustration.

Watching my father and our family struggle to manage his diabetes motivated me to make a difference. This led me to develop the HealDi system, which offers comprehensive diabetes care. People with diabetes can live full lives if they see their doctors regularly and follow their advice. However, many people confront considerable barriers: they struggle to keep their glucose levels under control because they can't get care when they need it, don't know which experts to see, don't have enough time to see all the essential doctors, and find it challenging to maintain a balanced diet. Diabetes, if not controlled effectively, can cause serious complications and is a primary cause of premature death and disability. HealDi seeks to simplify diabetes control by offering coordinated, accessible, and complete care. By addressing the challenges that many diabetics confront, we want to improve their quality of life and prevent significant complications from this condition.
