History of diabetes whether his-story or her-story, all have the same too familiar script.


Once you are entered into the diabetic storybook as the main character, your biography starts with lifestyle changes like reducing weight, having more exercise (workouts), and consciously planned dieting.

If mending your ways still keeps you weak after a few weeks, you try to get into form with Metformin or even adding fertilizers (Sulphonyl-ureas). As days go by, you enter the glittering zone with Glitazones or sit-a-while with Sitagliptin.
Your post-prandial excursions may be accompanied by Metaglinides or the travel accelerates with addition of more gas (Acarbose or Volibose), literally and physically.

Your half-tablet a day becomes full or even two or more with more additions than few deletions, until the final stony tablet threatens to invite your epigraph on it.


Don’t lose heart and hang the curtains… your true friend arrives.


Enter the INSULIN.

    See full size imageI am not a seventh day Adventist to tell how god created the heaven and earth in six days and took rest on the seventh (sabbath) day. I like to dwell in the seventh heaven which is actually the abode of god with a state of supreme happiness. I would like all our diabetics do the same hence forth. I wish their life be colourful like the seven colours of the rainbow not only on seventh April (world health day) but all the seven days in a week.

    The gold standards for diabetic control is HbA1c under 7%
    blood sugar should not less than 70not more than 2x70(140) mg%
    Blood pressure should not less than 70 and more than 2x70(140)mm/hg
    A healthy average persons weight ideally be around 70 kgs
    His heart will not be troubled if the pulse is around 70
    Lipids LDL most less than 70 mg%
    Total Choleseterol- 3x70(210) mg%
    HDL not exceeding 70mg%
    TGL not exceeding 2x70(140)mg%

    ஏழு ஏழு ஜென்மமும் உம்மை மறவேன் மருத்துவரே என பயனடைபவர் பாராட்டவேண்டாமா !

    Rosy........ are you leaving us?




    Go to fullsize image5187.jpg

    A friend is someone who reaches for the hand and touches the heart. Many claims of heart failures  inducted by your touch even though seemingly low ,nevertheless cannot be confronted . RECORDs say that you are breaking a few bones too.your  cousin pio still in the glittering zone inspite of boosting many a belly may go scot free until another double blind study blames it. Efficacy is decided by the medical expertise of a doctor combined with the  the real life experience of a patient.




    slide28.jpgslide29.jpg


    Good, better, best, never rest, until good be better and better be best.
    Disappointments  are often HIS appointment.

    Because I never really had you at all,
    I don't think it would hurt this much to lose you

    What a nice setting on 2010 s valentine day, to talk on sulfonyl ureas past ,present & future for away from the residence ,but on the tower of the hotel!
    Both the speakers made us to love them,at least their scientific acumen.
    Fascination for basic sciences made many a basically silent doctor to talk .
    SUs do not fertilise the pancreas to synthesise insulin,they are just cytotropic causing exocytosis of the stored insulin .
    A head to head comparison of all SUs.,The transatlantic divide of the Europeans flirting with gliclazide while glimipride being the valentine of the rest of the world is amusing.
    Glibenclamide squeezes the pancreas & the heart too leading to B cell apoptosis.
    Much of glucose control can be a double edged sword killing the patient with prolonged hypo while the physician suffers with hypertension at least evanescently.



    4_cartoon_11.gifGlimipride has multitude of benefits
    It stimulates the endogenous mechanism of the heart by its effect on K ATP channels, protecting against lethal ischemic insult..Nitric Oxide production, atheroprotective effects,lesser effect on BP ,potent antithrombotic property, and no cardio arrhythmic effect makes it a preferred molecule. Extra pancreatic action takes care of insulin resistance too.
    So no more glib(enclamide) talk!
    Glibenclamides become Dy-o-nil
    Glipizide, Gliclazide kept aside
    Heartening Glimipride marches on with pride!

    Optical Illusions

    If you stare at the following picture long enough,
    you should see a giraffe...




    Gotcha! But the rest of these optical illusions are on the level.

    What are "illusions"? Illusions trick us into perceiving something differently than it actually exists, so what we see does not correspond to physical reality. Hence, the word illusion comes from the Latin verb illudere meaning, "to mock." In addition, some illusions show us one thing in a picture, while someone else sees something entirely different in the same picture.

    Research scientists must be sure that the results of their work are not "illusory" in nature. They need to accurately report what "is", rather than their general "impression" of "what is". So many times a scientist will repeat an experiment many times, or in different laboratories, to ensure that their results were valid. Science is only "good science" when anyone can repeat the experiment and get the same results.


    If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot,
    the dots will remain only one color, pink.

    However if you stare at the black " +" in the center, the moving dots turns to green.

    Now, concentrate on the black " + " in the center of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single green dot rotating.

    It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don't disappear. This should be proof enough, we don't always see what we think we see

    Optical Illusion

    A skull or a woman looking into a vanity mirror?
    A skull?
    Or a woman looking into a vanity mirror?

    Now let's play with some words...what do you see below?

    good and evil intertwined in different colors
    In black you can read the word GOOD;
    but the word EVIL also appears in white letters inside each black letter.

    Now what do you see?


    You may not see it at first, but the white spaces create the word OPTICAL,
    while the blue landscape spells out ILLUSION.

    And what do you see below?

    teach reflects as learn
    This one is quite tricky! The word TEACH reflects as LEARN.

    Last one of these -- what do you see?

    ME reverses to YOU
    You probably read the word ME in brown, but.......
    when you look through ME
    you will see YOU!
    Do you need to look again?

    The Man in the Coffee Beans

    The "illusion" is that this is just a picture of coffee beans; but it is not. Can you find a man's face among the beans? Some say that if you find the man in 3 seconds or less, the right half of your brain may be more well developed than most.

    PS: This is not a trick. A man's face is really hidden among the beans.

    a picture of beans with a face obscured in the beans

    The following pictures are NOT animated.

    spinning wheels

    moving petals
    three columns of waves
    moving lines of leaves

    Your eyes are making them move. To test this, stare at one spot in each picture for a few seconds and everything will stop moving; OR look at the black center of each circle in the first picture, and it will stop moving; but when you move your eyes to the next black center, the previous one will move after you take your eyes away from it.


    And here is another type of illusion.
    Count the people in the picture below.
    After they shift, count them again!
    shifting people

    I

    Type your summary here
    : மார்வாரி இளைஞன் ஒருவன் கடும் அவஸ்தையில் இருந்தான். சொந்தவீடு இல்லை. கையில் காசு இல்லை.கடன் இருந்தது. வீட்டில் அழகான மனைவி இருந்தாள். விளையாடக் குழந்தை இல்லை. அதோடு பார்வையற்ற தன்னுடைய அன்னையையும் வைத்துக் காப்பாற்ற வேண்டிய சூழ்நிலை! மனம் உருகிக் பிரார்த்தித்தான். கடவுள் அவனுக்கு முன்வந்து காட்சி கொடுத்துச் சொன்னார். “உன்னுடைய விருப்பத்தை நிறைவேற்றுகிறேன். ஒரே ஒரு வரம்! என்ன வேண்டும் ? கேள்! தருகிறேன்! ஒரு நிமிடம் யோசித்துவிட்டு அவன் சொன்னான். ”என்னுடைய மாடமாளிகையில், என் செல்ல மகனுக்கு, என் மனைவி தங்கக்கிண்ணத்தில் உணவு ஊட்டும் காட்சியை, என் அன்னை பார்த்து மகிழ வேண்டும்!” That is 4 in one! கடவுள் அலுத்துக் கொண்டார்: “மார்வாரிகளிடம் நாம் கற்றுக் கொள்ள வேண்டியது நிறைய இருக்கிறது!”
