DELHI DIABETIC FORUM

From the President's pen Esteemed members of the Delhi Diabetic Forum, It is a great privilege to communicate with you all after assuming the post of President of Delhi Diabetic Forum, but I am deeply aware that it has brought with it great responsibilities. Like all organizations, as I always say, a time comes when the relatively younger people have to take charge and more importantly, they have to come up to expectations. The new Board of Management is a relatively younger lot, and it were to happen in the Silver Jubilee year of DDF is no chance. After completing a quarter of century, as the nation witnesses a change with a more active government, it is time to take charge in DDF also, and give this transition an impetus, which will make a mark. I thank the DDF members who turned up in unprecedented large numbers to elect the present Board of Management. I welcome the new DDF Board of Management members. However, there is a serious loss that DDF has incurred since the new Board of Management took over. Mr. DC Keswani, who was one of the most spirited and untiring DDF workers, and had been continuously with the Board of Management since its inception left for his heavenly abode. Loss of a family member is always cruel, but Mr. Keswani was not only a family member to the DDF, but he was a rock solid pillar who would work relentlessly for the DDF and contributed immensely in achieving its goals. I pray God to give courage to the bereaved family members and May his soul rest in peace. It is an irreparable loss to the DDF as well, and he would be sorely missed in the meetings and the DDF camps. On a personal front, I met him so many times at the gates of Bal Bharati Public School, where he used to come in the afternoon to pick up his grandson. He was always very affectionate and his work ethics and commitment to DDF, belied his age. He would himself volunteer or activities and any responsibility entrusted to him would be done efficiently. We are left with fond memories of Mr. Keswani at this juncture. Dr. Pikee Saxena, presently the General Secretary of DDF has been consistently working to improvise the activities of the DDF and works with great professionalism and perfection. She is ably supported by Dr. Ashok Kumar, Associate Professor of Medicine at Santosh Medical College, Ghaziabad and Dr. Piyush Jain, Associate Professor of Medicine at PGIMER & Dr. RML Hospital, New Delhi. The Board of Management of DDF is honoured to have Dr. SP Kalra and Dr. Rajiv Gupta as its Members, though both have been Past‐ Presidents of DDF and have consistently worked for the

success of DDF. Dr. Yash Pal Munjal, past‐President API and former Dean, ICP, and presently Director of the Physician's Research Foundation (API) along with Dr. Sachin K Jain, DM Endocrinology and presently Director Professor & Head of the Department of Medicine at Lady Hardinge Medical College; and Dr. Satish K. Agarwal, former Director Professor & Head of the Department of Medicine at Maulana Azad Medical College and presently Medical Advisor at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, Delhi are the trinity to which the DDF Board of Management looks forward for guidance in the scientific activities of DDF in the coming years. We are in the 25th year of DDF and we are working on a Vision Document for DDF for the year 2025, so that we work cohesively to take DDF to greater heights in the next decade. We would be glad to receive constructive suggestions from the DDF members in this regard. A number of things are being revamped including the constitution. There is a shift from conducting diabetes screening camps to conducting Diabetes Awareness camps. A purely scientific journal is being started from this year itself (for the doctors). The articles for the patients and specially written in Hindi, would be ensured in every issue of the DDF newsletter (which shall go to all members). A number of communications are being returned back to the DDF office, and so please fill up the attached sheet with your details and post it to the DDF Office in the attached stamped self‐addressed envelope. It will be encouraging for doctors with an academic bent of mind and postgraduate students, that some research grants are also being started by the DDF to promote research in Diabetes. Like every year, the World Diabetes Day activities for 2016 are all lined up and mentioned in the General Secretary's column. With the Festival season ongoing, I on behalf of the DDF Board of Management wish all readers a very Happy Navrataras, Happy Dussehra and a joyous festival of lights. Enjoy the festivities, but do remember, enjoyment is in the mind and enjoy with the heart, not with your tongue. Restrict sweets and simple sugars, walk more, when you go to

meet relatives so that you can burn some calories. Be healthy, remain healthy! Best wishes, Dr. Anupam Prakash Professor of Medicine, Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi

From the General Secretary's Desk Dear members of the DDF, Warm greetings to all of you and my heartfelt gratitude for giving me this opportunity to serve you as the General Secretary for another term. It is a great privilege to be the General Secretary of such an esteemed organisation that ceaselessly works for the people in the community. I am hopeful that with the support of the new and dynamic executive we will be able to take the Society to greater heights. India has 69.2 million people living with diabetes (8.7%) as per the 2015 data. Of these, it remained undiagnosed in more than 36 million people. This year theme of the World Health Day 2016 is “Diabetes”. We all need to join hands to increase awareness regarding diabetes, its prevention, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment to avoid complications. The theme of the World Diabetes Day 2016 is “Eye on Diabetes”. Screening for type 2 diabetes and its complications is necessary to ensure the morbidity burden associated with diabetes and to improve the overall quality of life in diabetes patients. Diabetes can lead to eye disease which can cause blindness if not detected early. Therefore, the theme depicts that we should keep an eye on diabetes, and simultaneously care about eyes in diabetes too, because complications of diabetes can involve the eye. Eye changes can be a reflection of the vascular system of the body. Therefore, we have included two articles pertaining to the 'Eye and Diabetes' in this issue. The bimonthly CME of DDF was organised as usual on 27th August, 2016 at Hotel The Royal Plaza, New Delhi. It was a very well appreciated CME with a lot of interaction. On the occasion of Wold Diabetes Day, DDF plans to hold month long activities with the aim of sensitising the lay public about the disease, modifying the lifestyle to prevent the disease and initiate early treatment for preventing complications. We request all members to whole‐heartedly join and support these activities. DDF is organising a mega‐Diabetes camp that will be held at Gurudwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, GK II, New Delhi on November 27 (Sunday), 2016 . An early morning Camp will be organised at Lodhi Garden on Nov. 13 (Sunday) to screen and create awareness among people coming for a walk to the Lodhi gardens.DDF shall be holding an educative programme for staff working for the Delhi Metro on the 15th of November, 2016. Public forum will also be organised in the antenatal outpatient department of different hospitals to educate pregnant women and their relatives about healthy diet, exercise and prevention of diabetes. If the lady of the house decides to take control of the diet, eating habits of all members can be improved. We also propose to hold training and educative programmes for nursing personnel/students and general physicians.

The current issue of DDF Newsletter carries brief report of the Annual General Body Meeting and the list of the newly elected Board of Management which was attended by more than a 100 members this time. It has been observed that a huge number of DDF journals are being returned as the addresses of the members have not been updated. The new executive has decided to update the address of all members. We have decided to take out a “DDF Newsletter” for the DDF members to increase awareness about important issues related to diabetes. It will also contain Hindi articles which will provide useful and practical tips for the readers. It has been decided that the DDF Journal will be circulated to the doctor members to update the medical professionals with the latest/recent advances to update their knowledge. For this all members are requested to send their name, address, mobile number, e‐ mail and educational qualifications on the attached self addressed postcards by 31st October so that the journal and the Newsletter can reach the members without wastage of money and time. DDF is pleased to announce that 2 research scholarships worth Rs. 50,000 have also been introduced for encouraging research in the field of diabetes. You are requested to send your research proposals to the DDF office with details of your name, brief biodata along with details of publications, designation, affiliations by 31 st December 2016 for consideration of these scholarships. We also want to request our members to not only participate actively in the DDF activities all around the year but also inform their friends and colleagues of the activities of the society so that we can increase the membership and also make more people aware about our activities. I request the readers to provide their inputs for strengthening the forum and also provide their feedback about various activities that are being carried out by the DDF. With the festival season approaching, I wish the DDF members a Happy Vijayadashmi and a Prosperous and Shubh Deepawali. I wish you all an enjoyable and safe celebration.

World Diabetes Day 2016 The theme of World Diabetes Day 2016 is Eyes on Diabetes. Diabetes can lead to eye diseases which can cause blindness if not detected early. In many countries Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness. Of the 415 million adults worldwide living with Diabetes, over one third develop some form of diabetic retinopathy leading to vision impairment and blindness. More than 93 million adults living with Diabetes have diabetic retinopathy. The management of Diabetes and its complications begins in primary health care and this should include screening for Diabetic retinopathy. Many people live with diabetes for a long period of time without being aware of their eye condition . Early detection and timely treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy can prevent vision loss and reduce the impact on individuals. Careful management of diabetes and screening for Diabetic eye disease can help to prevent visual impairment and blindness.

Obituary Shri DC Keshwani,a very dedicated, sincere ,hard worker of DDF left for his heavenly abode on 21July2016 after a brief illness.He was a former executive of the DDF and member of Forum since the beginning and a humble person. He was actively managing the monthly camp at Sindhu Samaj Mandir, Old Rajinder Nagar, New Delhi for several years. At DDF we will be missing him and especially his never die attitude. We pray to GOD that his soul rests in peace and God give the strength to his family to bear this loss.
