Hi,

2016 have been a very busy year for diabetes. As usual, for the world diabetes month 2016, we had a month long patient and public awareness campaign; more than 50 events, some of which are showcased in this month's Gems video.

Do you know that a fasting sugar of even 100 mg/dL(prediabetes) carries a risk of developing complications? Kesavadev Trust Type 1 diabetes 'Sweet Stars' project has launched the initiation and follow up of free insulin pump for kids with type 1 diabetes.

Our regular updates including Gems Recipe of the Month, Drug updates, JDC updates etc. continue.

We are completing our 98th issue with the blessings of our ever encouraging readers. Thanking you and wishing each one of you a very healthy and happy New Year 2017!

Thanking you once again for the comments and suggestions. If in case you are not interested in receiving this free monthly scientific newsletter, kindly reply with "delete gems" in the subject line to info@jothydev.net and also click the unsubscribe button at the bottom of this page.
