Diagnosed with diabetes at 16, I built Diabic for World Diabetes Day

Hey Product Hunt, I m Shahriar, founder of Diabic.

I was diagnosed with diabetes at 16. I left the clinic with a prescription and a leaflet, but still had a lot to learn about the day-to-day. I missed doses, hid my diagnosis from friends, and ended up in hospital twice in one year.

Medicine is still part of my care. What I was missing was a better understanding of what was happening in my body, and how to build routines around food, movement, and looking after my health. I ve lived with diabetes for more than 14 years now, and I live well with it.

For a long time, I pieced that everyday education together through short appointments and late-night searches. I started writing the guide I wish I d had at 16, then worked with doctors to review it. That guide grew into Diabic.
As today, World Diabetes Day 2026, I choose to launch it, but living with diabetes is an everyday experience.
