What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

The object (system in this case) moves.
Eventually.

Hats off Dr @dr_sivaranjani 🫡

PS- Proud to say I am her college junior 😇

🚨The Central Board of Secondary Education(CBSE) asks all schools to monitor sugar intake of children!

▶️The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has directed all affiliated schools to establish 'Sugar Boards' on their campuses to create awareness about the health risks of excessive sugar consumption among students.

▶️This step follows a recommendation from the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), which has raised concerns over the rising cases of ,
🔸Type 2 diabetes,
🔸Obesity,
🔸And dental problems among children.

▶️Type 2 diabetes is a growing pandemic that is now catching young children as well,
India has about 101 million diabetic and 136 million pre-diabetic population making it the diabetes capital of the world.

▶️CBSE directs schools to monitor the sugar intake of children👇

🔸Schools should set up 'Sugar Boards' to display information about:

✅Recommended daily sugar intake
✅Sugar content in commonly consumed foods and beverages
✅Health risks of excessive sugar consumption
✅Healthier alternatives to sugary products
✅Conduct awareness seminars and workshops to educate students about mindful eating habits and the long-term benefits of reduced sugar intake

▶️A great move by CBSE,
All schools and corporates should undertake these initiatives to educate children and employees on a rising pandemic that is type 2 diabetes.

Yet again. Another kid, same resistance. @NTA_Exams couldn't convey @NCPCR_ and @cbseindia29 message to its centers. The kid had to go through so much trauma despite having all the papers in place.
We need to work harder to spread awareness.

@karthik2k2 It is very difficult. Economically underprivileged still get some help and social support. Middle class is hit worst .

[Shuchy Chugh @ShuchyC]

@karthik2k2 It should be like a common man or woman can get job as a receptionist, house help or guard, where they get paid more. Rest all, usually know 3 or more languages

[Shuchy Chugh @ShuchyC]

@karthik2k2 All names of character in serials. Now we will not be able tell about child,s state from names. Boys will be Vivan, Rihan, AAyan and girls will be Kiyara, Naira and Mahira

We all know of political dynasties that are cesspits of corruption and avarice. Can there be a virtuous equivalent ? Can a family inculcate values of selflessness and service for generations, expelling darkness in the lives of the downtrodden ?

Devidas Murlidhar Amte was born in a wealthy family in Maharashtra in British ruled India. His parents fondly called him Baba. His childhood was a hazy blur of fun and frolic, and when be became an adult his parents gifted him a sports car with plush seats made of panther skin. With the hallmark confidence that wealth brings, he once fought with British soldiers who passed lewd remarks on a local woman. He was a patriotic lawyer, who helped with the legal troubles of freedom fighters. Amte’s parents ensured that he lived like Siddhartha - shielded from the misery of the outside world. And just like Siddhartha, a moment of revelation transformed him into a modern day Buddha.

He saw a tribal man with leprosy called Tulsiram. Tulsiram’s abject poverty and subhuman treatment by the society stood in stark contrast to his own idyllic life. Baba Amte would never be the same again. He realised that discriminating such people, is a leprosy of the mind, a disease far worse than leprosy of the body. He was inspired by Gandhian vision, like crores of Indians and decided that actions speak louder than words.

He built a hospital to treat leprosy patients right where the lived - in the midst of a dense forest. The hospital gave hope to those who were only used to despair. He married and had two sons. The apples didn’t fall far from the tree.

His younger son, Prakash Amte was studying MS General Surgery in Nagpur when he met Mandakini, who was doing Anesthesia. Love blossomed between the two. One day, Dr Prakash accompanied his father to a tribal village in Ghadricholi district of Maharashtra called Hemalkhasa. It was Prakash’s turn for a moment of revelation.

India was no longer under the yoke of British colonialism, but the tribals were caught between poverty, the corruption of brown sahebs and the lure of naxalism. The country which could launch rockets also had people who had to walk 100 km to get treatment.

Dr Prakash and Dr Mandakini Amte got married, despite opposition from Mandakini’s father - as didn’t want his daughter living among lepers.. To his chagrin, that’s exactly what happened - they promptly moved to the jungle to work for the tribals. They realised that health is not merely the absence the illness - it is mental, physical and spiritual well being. The people trusted them so much that villagers preferred their hospital to the government hospital, even if they had to walk long distances.

They started Lok Biradari Prakalp in 1973- a project to improve tribal lives. They built a school that gave free food, lodging and books. Today more than 600 students study in the school.

Incredibly, the couple’s humanity extended beyond humans - they started a shelter for orphaned babies of wild animals that had been hunted. They even have a local conflict resolution center - where quarrelling parties come to seek their wise counsel. Dr Prakash, true to his name, became a light in the lives of the tribal people in more ways than one.

Both Baba Amte and Prakash Amte have been conferred the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay award, among others. Indian government released a stamp honouring Baba Amte and gave him Padmashri. Dr Prakash Amte and Dr Mandakini Amte took it one step further - the Principality of Monaco, a European monarchy, released a stamp in their honour - the only Indians to have been honoured thus. In 2014, the movie “Dr Prakash Baba Amte- the real Hero” was released in Marathi and Hindi - starring Nana Patekar and Sonali Kulkarni.

Their legacy is today carried forward by their sons Digant and Aniket - completing a three generation streak of service - thus showing that not just vice, even virtue an be “dynastic”

This is the appeal sent to the honorable authorities and to the CEO of Abbott to reduce the prices of insulin syringes, pen needles, and especially of sensors (screenshot attached).

For people like us genuinely involved and interested in improving the health of type 1 diabetes, this is important information to know and share with patients and their families. Thanks for sharing @parthaskar

🚨🚨Strict no no to all alternatives treatments for type 1 diabetes, these treatments not only misguides but can be fatal also. That's the tweet!!!! @ICMRDELHI @MoHFW_INDIA @NMC_IND

[childhormonedoc @drlokesh2004]

No stem cell therapy for type 1 diabetes is approved for clinical use outside trials in India..@ICMRDELHI @NMC_IND @MoHFW_INDIA
Its very easy to claim anything in our country. Its tiring to fight with misinfo. (un) qualified docs also claiming for cure and giving false hopes..

[Harsh Kohli @kohliharsh_t1d]

@drlokesh2004 @MoHFW_INDIA @OfficeOf_MM @PMOIndia The #t1d community is grateful to @NCPCR_ @KanoongoPriyank sir for helping us with this !
The child got his due !!
The matter is resolved

[Prashanth @prashanth957]

Give T1s their basic rights. Calling all policy makers and government authorities to take this up and enable T1s pursue their studies without these unwarranted incidents.

[Santhosh Olety @OletySanthosh]

@drlokesh2004 @MoHFW_INDIA @OfficeOf_MM @PMOIndia Rejecting to accommodate their needs during exams is disappointing and shows they have no idea and failed to understand about the medical condition and taking away rights of a child with T1D...
