Welcome to DiabeticMatrimony.com - An Introduction

India has 77 million diabetics and is referred to as the diabetes capital of the world but little has been done to tackle the social fallout of the disease.

Stigma and misconceptions persist. A survey in Delhi shows that: Diabetics still find it difficult to be accepted as a life partner.

Wasim Akram
Former Pakistan Cricketer

Nicole Johnson
Miss America 1999

Gaurav Kapur
Television VJ

Kamal Hassan
Film Actor
