About DIABETES : |
|
| Indians are known to be genetically predisposed to develop Diabetes, and it comes as no wonder that till recently we were the leading nation of diabetes. Diabetes, if left untreated is a source of considerable morbidity. Today, in the second decade of the new millennium, we have so many treatment options in our armamentarium that it is unusual for a reasonably longstanding compliant patient of diabetes to have a premature demise or debility. But what was the situation, hundred years ago? Having Diabetes at that time, anywhere in the world, meant a sure death and a large number of diabetic patients, especially the Type 1 patients did not survive beyond just a few months. India was no exception to that rule. However, we had a few of our respected national idols who refused to be cowed down by Diabetes. This article is dedicated to their unputdownable spirit, notwithstanding the reality that true evidence based facts regarding these great heroes is few and far between. |
