A sweet villan! Sugar!

Hi,
Today I'm gonna share something regarding the world's most popular, wide spread disease, Diabetes
the worst  disease  which people refer as - "sugar!" :( :(
To be more technical, Diabetes mellitus.


Diabetes mellitus - "sugar
Types of Diabetes:
Type1: Insulin ( a hormone, regulating carbohydrate balance in body) producing ability of Beta cells of Pancreas is affected. This leads to increase of blood glucose.
Type2: In this type, insulin is available in our body, but, the cells fail to respond to insulin. (insulin resistance)
Gestational: Pregnant women who never had diabetes before, develops diabetes during time of pregnancy.

My dad is also suffering from diabetes :( I never worried about this diabetes when my dad was keeping good health. Suddenly, when one day, my dad said after a medical check up, "I got sugar!", I started crying. I felt so bad. :( :'( My dad goes for morning walk daily, he even don't take non vegetarian much, he takes very rare. He has a planned good diet! 
But, how? How he got diabetes?

My dad  didn't believe, when his doctor told him that he was diabetic. He asked his doctor to go for a check up again because he was very regular and cautious about what he eats. And also, he does exercises.
The doctor too checked up again with his instant blood glucose testing kit and confirmed that my dad was diabetic. :( :(

The reason that doctor told my dad for his disease was "Tension", " work stress"! :( :(
Oh, God, you give diabetes even due to stress? :(

I felt so bad that day when my dad said that he was diabetic. But, he consoled me saying, nowadays every one is suffering from sugar, you don't worry, I can bring it back under control.

And as he said, he brought it under control! Now, his blood sugar is under control :) :D Not with tablets. But by taking some preparations from medicinal plants. Let me explain you about those plants in my next post.

Tata.. Bye.. Wish you a "sugar free" life with loads of smile!
Keep smiling :) :D

    Dear Kanmani,
    Don't worry too much about diabetes. My husband has been successfully managing it for the last 35 years! If you take precautions in the initial stages it is manageable with exercise and dieting. Please co-operate with your dad to manage it. Family support is very essential.
    Best wishes,
    ranjani

    Hi Kanmani..

    As the above poster said Diabetes is easily manageable with healthy diet and regular exercise. But one needs to be persistent and disciplined about it.

    Remember Diabetes in shorter term is harmless but in the long run its a killer. You must fight it with all your might as early as possible.

Sea Butterfly!

Neih hou!  Don't roll you eyes wondering what it is! "Neih hou" is how you say "hello" in Cantonese. Guess what, I am in Hong Kong and therefore the language Cantonese. I came to Hong Kong this summer as an intern before officially joining as a PhD Student. This is my second experience abroad, far away from home, new language, new culture, I expected me to have a "really" bad cultural shock, but, actually I experienced only 50% of what I expected. For a girl who have used the marina beach only for eating "sundal", bikini in beach was a shock (FEEL FREE TO JUDGE ME!). The first time, I went to the big wave beach here, I was the only one who was totally covered, when everyone was enjoying their Beer, I was slowly sipping my lemon juice (THE ODD ONE OUT!). I realized how beautifully different the world outside is! There is no single standard for right or wrong, it varies in different countries, in different regions around the world. And it ...

The Butterfly flew for the first time!

Hi dear sweet lovely reader, Didn't meet you for a long time... Just after complaining about the stipend problem in the last post, I actually wanted to write a lot here, but, couldn't find time (Such a lazy girl, I am!). As you might be knowing, the author (me) is the butterfly here :P And, I flew for the first time!! YEAH! I FLEW! I flew like a butterfly! It was an awesome experience flying for the very first time! (ow, no! I dint put a trans-gene in my body and fly after getting  a pair of wings, but with a passport and VISA). I'm this girl, full of dreams wishing to do "this", "that" and "all kind of stuffs that one can do". And, one among those dreams was to fly one day! TO FLY FREE!(I mean, not free of cost :P, but liberation) I always wanted to fly in those big, big airplanes, but, I always have avoided that mode of transport. Reason? Obviously, it would burn a big hole in my dad's pocket (actually he can afford if I wan...

To be more simple, you grow plants in test tubes and bottles by providing them light, nutrient by mimicking the natural conditions. It is effectively used as tool for producing GM(Genetically Modified) plants. Don't confuse "plant tissue culture" with "HORTICULTURE" The basic of Plant Tissue Culture : Totipotency:  The ability of a single plant cell to grow into an entire plant is generally referred as totipotency. Plasticity:  The ability of plants to survive in extreme conditions by modifying their metabolism is generally referred as plasticity. Things you need to do plant tissue culture 1) Laminar air hood 2) Plant growth chamber 3)Chemicals for preparing medium 4)Autoclave 5)pH meter 6) Test tubes or Bottles with caps 7) Cotton plugs 8) Scalpels, Fo...
