Kids with type 1 diabetes since childhood, who cannot afford treatment are being supported by us directly or through well wishers.Many of them are married now and with kids. The recently launched Kesavadev Trust Type 1 diabetes Project(KT1DP) 'Sweet Stars' will focus on education of parents, teachers and family members in addition to comprehensive support.

The Gems video this month is in local language(Malayalam) titled 'Do patients really require insulin injections?'

We also touch upon the discovery of G3PP enzyme which may turn out to be a new therapeutic strategy for obesity,brief on the adverse events post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, the benefits of catch up sleep during weekends etc.
