Proof of the value of Blood sugar control by Insulin

By the 1950s, it was accepted that tissue complications,such as those that occur in the eye and kidney, continued to develop in long-standing diabetes, in spite of insulin treatment.
The definitive proof that normalization of glycaemia could prevent or delay the development of diabetic complications had to wait until 1993 for type 1 diabetes (the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial in North America) and 1998 for type 2 diabetes (the UK Prospective Diabetes
Study – UKPDS).

Diabetes Education started in 1922

The American physician Elliot P Joslin (1869 – 1962) was
one of the first doctors to gain experience with insulin.
Working in Boston, he treated 293 patients in the first year
after August 1922. Joslin also introduced systematic education
for his diabetic patients.

Description of diabetes by Aretaeus

Aretaeus (Greek: Ἀρεταῖος) is one of the most celebrated of the ancient Greek physicians, of whose life, however, few particulars are known. He presumably was a native or at least a citizen of Cappadocia, a Roman province in Asia Minor (Turkey), and most likely lived around first century CE. He is generally styled "the Cappadocian" (Καππάδοξ).

Description of diabetes by Aretaeus
Diabetes is a dreadful affliction, not very frequent among men,
being a melting down of the flesh and limbs into urine. The
patients never stop making water and the flow is incessant, like
the opening of aqueducts. Life is short, unpleasant and painful,
thirst unquenchable, drinking excessive, and disproportionate
to the large quantity of urine, for yet more urine is passed. One
cannot stop them either from drinking or making water. If for a
while they abstain from drinking, their mouths become parched
and their bodies dry; the viscera seem scorched up, the patients
are affected by nausea, restlessness and a burning thirst, and
within a short time, they expire.

Shashi Tharoor is stupid!

More recently, he urged the national government to impose a travel ban on Muslims, as US President Donald Trump has attempted to do.
No buddy! the travel ban is here to stay.


"To BJP true believers, the Muslims who ruled India for centuries were foreign invaders who despoiled a prosperous land, destroyed temples and palaces, enslaved and discriminated against Hindus,( true, true and true ) assaulted Hindu women, and converted millions to Islam.( once again True,except for some wiley Brahmins who volunteered to become  Muslims  to gain  financial advantage ) In this telling, this sordid saga of assault on Hindus culminated in the 1947 Partition of India by the British, which created Pakistan.

This is a highly simplistic interpretation of a complex history – one characterized far more by assimilation and co-existence than by religious conflict.( Really ?) But that doesn’t matter to the Hindu chauvinists who constitute the bulk of the BJP’s electoral base. They agree with the hardline Hindu chauvinist and BJP legislator Sangeet Som, who last month called the Taj Mahal “a blot on Indian culture” that had been “built by traitors” and “should have no place in Indian history.” If people like Shah Jahan – who supposedly wanted to “wipe out all Hindus from India” – were part of India’s history, Som said, “we will change this history.”


"the Hindu-chauvinist BJP is seeking to redefine India as a Hindu nation long subjugated by foreigners – not just British colonizers, but also Muslim conquerors."

There is nothing to redefine It is the TRUTH

go back to your  viral speech a few years ago( 2015) in Oxford

"‘Britain destroyed India through looting, expropriation – and outright theft – all conducted in a spirit of deep racism and amoral cynicism.’ "

what were you smoking when you opined as such?

How does one colonizer is a symbol of " assimilation and co-existence and the  other a looter and an amoral racist"

As usual, Trump is high on pomp and show and very low on substance.
Only the usual White trailer park trash cheers him after he taught  China a lesson by imposing  trade tariffs

Cathode ray tubes?
The present-day tech-savvy generation may have difficulty understanding what is meant by this :-)

An organization’s structure can complicate its very mission

An organization’s structure can complicate its very mission—over time, multiple chains of command, unclear governance and inconsistent protocols, processes and practices can weaken health care safety and reliability protocols.

Is Google making us stupid or Google ie Alphabet company is stupid ?

Is Google making us stupid?
this was a question debated in many web articles.
 But what I am seeing is more and more Google as a company seems to be stupid and is following in the footsteps a number of major corporations, who have ignored the concerns of their users and later on due to this have become extinct.

 for example, how can you accept such a stupid toolbar for the blogger compose.
it's very minimal formatting support Sucky spell check, terrible way to sync the pictures and objects so that they can be inserted into the blog post.

It has completely ignoring my ongoing complaint about the quitting of spell check in Google docs.
