Diabesity Decodified - Is Food the root cause of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus pandemic?

Pandiyan Natarajan

This is is not medical advice. This is food for thought. Please discuss with your doctor before making any change in your food and lifestyle.The escalating global incidence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) over the past five decades directly correlates with the parallel rise in overweight and obesity, forming an intertwined epidemic termed "diabesity."

Most pregnancies around the world are unplanned.That single fact should give us pause.By the time we recognize a pregnancy, we may already have missed a crucial window to protect it.Pregnancy is not merely a biological event. It is one of the most profound turning points in the life of a woman, a child, a father, and indeed an entire family. What happens during pregnancy—and even before it begins—can shape health, development, and wellbeing of the child for decades to come.And yet, we often prepare

The Violence of “Fail”What does it mean to fail at learning?Our examination system reduces a continuous process — learning — into a binary judgment. A student scoring 34% is labeled “Failed.” Another scoring 35% is labeled “Passed.” The distinction is one mark. The consequences can be life-altering.There is no scientific basis for most pass thresholds. They are administrative conveniences. Yet they shape identity, opportunity, and self-worth.High-stakes final examinations further distort learning

Safe Drug – An Oxymoron?Why fewer medicines may sometimes be the best medicine of allWe often use the phrase “safe drug” casually — to reassure patients, doctors, and even ourselves. But pause and reflect:Is a safe drug truly possible? Or is the phrase itself an oxymoron?A drug, by definition, alters physiology. If it did not change normal biological function, it would have no therapeutic value. And if it alters physiology, it cannot be entirely free of consequences.A drug without side effects is a
