Dear Friends,

A warm welcome to 2016 July edition of gems. We have once again proven the benefit of lifestyle interventions in preventing the onset of diabetes in an original study from Jothydev's Diabetes Research Centre presented at the American Diabetes Association Convention New Orleans, USA. We have also included a brief on the recent continuous glucose sensor controversy in Kerala.

Diet to improve sexual dysfunction, DPP4 activity and cognitive impairment are a few examples of the current update. We are immensely thankful to you for the very exciting feedback and encouraging remarks. You may also go through the pictures and media reports of the prestigious 12th P.Kesavadev Awards.

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.
