Get to Know Us
At SILVER STAR India, we campaign for awareness of diabetes and its types, causes and treatment.
We also strive to make tests available to all.
The SILVER STAR Story so far
Timing is Everything
In the UK today, there are over 2.2 million people diagnosed with diabetes. A further 750,000 are estimated to have Type 2 diabetes but don't know it yet.
Early diagnosis can prevent complications further down the line, which is why raising awareness and providing assessment is so crucial in the fight against this condition.
Goa + Mumbai
We operate two Mobile Diabetes Assessment Units (MDUs) in India: one in Goa and on in Mumbai. This allows us to reach many individuals at high risk of developing diabetes, and we are working on expanding the network soon.
In recognition of the immense support and goodwill of Mr Bachchan, The Mumbai MDU is named 'Amitabh'.
Testing + Educating
We don't just test people to see if they have diabetes, we also provide high-quality literature about the risks of a diet high in residual fat and a decline in the amount of exercise by urban-dwellers.
Introducing... LOLIPOP
LOLIPOP is a major UK research study investigating the causes of heart disease, strokes, diabetes, obesity, and other major medical problems. It's designed to help us understand why South Asian people like you and me are at higher risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
