Help Defeat Diabetes Trust (HDDT) is a registered non profit public trust,
having amongst its many objectives, the main objective of promoting education and
awareness amongst people with diabetes, diabetes educators and diabetologists. Currently,
it is engaged in creating a website for e based training of diabetes educators.
Most trustees of HDDT are working for several decades under Diabetes Endocrine Nutrition
Management and Research Centre and have been instrumental in developing effective
education programs in the field of diabetes.
The electronic Diabetes Educators Course (eDEC) is available to
graduates in Nutrition, Nursing, Pharma, Occupational and Physiotherapy
(eg- BSc Nutrition, BSc Nursing, B Pharm, Bachelors of OT, Bachelors in
PT). Additionally, these students should be working for a 3 months
period at one of the centres recognized by HDDT under a recognized
mentor. It is a 6 month course, punctuated by continuous self assessment test and
1 final test taken on-line under the supervision of
their mentor. Upon successfully passing the test, a certificate of
training by Dr.Chandalia's DENMARC and HDDT is issued.
Attempts are being made to link the program with a University, so that a formal
diploma certificate can be issued. A trainee needs to pay Rs. 10,000 for registering
and obtaining access to this training course for a 6 months period.
