How this content gets written

Diabaté Aider publishes 375 Knowledge Base articles across 7 types of diabetes, and 81 blog posts. This page describes how they're written, sourced and reviewed — so you can judge whether to trust them.

Who writes and reviews

Everything on this site is reviewed by CDE Mehandi Sharma, a nutritionist and certified diabetes educator specializing in long-term Type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes. Every article and post carries the date it was last reviewed.

How articles are sourced

Articles are compiled from published clinical and public-health sources — national health services, diabetes associations, government health institutes and peer-reviewed literature. We don't write from memory or from other blogs.

• Every article ends with its sources, listed by name and linked, so you can go and read the original.
• Sources are pages we actually opened, not a list assembled to look authoritative.
• The same sources are published as machine-readable citations, so a search engine sees the same list you do.

Written for India

Guidance is written for readers in India where that changes the answer: glucose in mg/dL rather than mmol/L, the DIPSI pathway for gestational diabetes screening, Indian foods in the nutrition articles, and Indian cohort data where it exists. Where evidence is only international, we say so rather than implying it was studied here.

What we won't publish

• Cures. Diabetes has no cure, and content that implies one is unsafe. Remission, where it's real, is described as remission.
• Doses to act on. We describe how a medicine is generally used; we don't tell you what to take or how much.
• Product promotion. No affiliate links, no sponsored placements, no paid reviews. Nothing on this site is written to sell a product.
• Fear as a hook. Complications are covered plainly and completely, without being used to frighten anyone into booking.

Corrections and updates

Guidance changes, and so do we. When an article is materially updated its review date changes, and when something is wrong we correct it rather than quietly deleting it. If you spot an error, tell us — that's the fastest way it gets fixed.

The limits of all of it

None of this makes an article a substitute for your own clinician. See the medical disclaimer for what this site can and can't do.
