Established in 2001, Youth Diabetes Action (YDA) is the only charity dedicated to supporting children and adolescents with diabetes and their families in Hong Kong. Our membership reflects a mixture of children and adults with diabetes, parents, medical professionals and other interested individuals from diverse backgrounds, who come together to share experiences and to improve the lives of children affected by diabetes. Support has concentrated on family sharing events, organising activities for children, educating parents, and developing public awareness to overcome the prejudice and difficulties diabetic children have to overcome at school and in the community.
