Hi,

From this month onwards, our newsletter is taking a new shape bringing to you the latest and the best in research. Diabetes is an ever changing science and so also is evidence and knowledge.

The 2 day Annual Diabetes National Convention organised by us at Hotel Hilton Garden Inn, Trivandrum has been a historical event in which international experts in diabetes and endocrinology in India and UK lectured, discussed and debated on major challenges in diabetes treatment.

The key articles in this issue include the link between early puberty and the risk of diabetes, death due to liver disease in diabetes, relation between salty diet and heart risk etc.

Gems Picture of the month is Glucagon Rescue. Gems Receipe of the month, drug updates, JDC updates continue. Gems Video of the month is on 'Bariatric Surgery in diabetes: good or bad'?
