Hi,

November is World Diabetes Month. For more than a decade, our group is active in Kerala promoting and propagating educational messages through all possible media. We also share with you our original research works presented at the 42nd RSSDI, the national diabetes convention attended by more than 6000 physicians.

Unproven medications and therapies for diabetes are very common all over the world, many of them resulting in devastating complications. Low testosterone levels in men with diabetes may be an indicator of ensuing heart disease. Mediterranean diet is good for preventing kidney disease in diabetes. Read these and more in this issue of Gems.

This month's video on insulin pumps and artificial pancreas in type 1 diabetes is primarily meant for healthcare professionals. We also share with you some of our World Diabetes Month activities.

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.
