Hi,

Do you know, we have a new device for injecting insulin? A blessing to those on multiple daily injections and brittle diabetes - the ''i-Port Advance'' which is featured in Gems video this month.

The opening article 'Unproven therapies for diabetes and their implications' written by key opinion leaders across the country provides a clear and detailed explanation on the widely prevalent unscientific therapies which again is one of the major reasons for failure and complications of diabetes.

The other articles include bi-directional relationship between fatty liver and cardiovascular disease,Vitamin B12 deficiency in pregnancy and risk of diabetes, why it is difficult to maintain a weight loss etc. Our regular updates - Gems picture of the month, Recipe of the month and Drug updates continue.
