Issue 63 January 2014

Hi,

The JDC Diabetes Gems Team wish all our friends and well wishes a very happy and healthy New Year!

In this issue, we bring before you a long list of new devices all set to hit the diabetes market in 2014. Metformin, one of the cheapest drugs in diabetes management once again proves its value in cancer. The follow up data after 30 years of intensive treatment of type 1 diabetes provides strong evidence of profound benefits in the prevention of complications of diabetes.

Gems video of the month is on 'Continuous Glucose Monitoring'. Our monthly updates, Gems Picture of the Month, Gems Recipe of the Month etc. continues.
