Dear Friends,

Apart from diabetes and heart attacks, various forms of cancers can also occur due to lifestyle disorders. Does over eating, over weight and diabetes predispose to cancer? Yes. This ninth issue of JDC GEMS reassures safety of currently available newer and older insulin. We also present a section on smart insulin pumps to manage diabetes and one on exercise goals to prevent heart attack in diabetes.
