One in five pregnant women in Ahmedabad in the western state of Gujarat were found to have GDM, according to a study by the Diabetes Care Institute, whose results were reported in February. Women with GDM were at higher risk of developing diabetes later in life, warned an earlier study in Kerala's neighbouring state of...
"They are the ideal group to be targeted for lifestyle modification or pharmacologic intervention in order to delay or postpone the onset of overt diabetes. Hence, an important public health priority in the prevention of diabetes is to address maternal health both during the ante- and post-partum period," the study sai...
Medical researchers believe that the disease, earlier considered an ailment of the rich, is on the rise in India. Nearly 70 million people – half of them women – in a population of 1.21 billion have diabetes, and the number is predicted to rise to 101 million by 2030.
Nearly 60% of diabetics in India have never been screened or diagnosed due to a lack of awareness, according to a 2012 report published by the Brussels-based International Diabetes Federation, an umbrella organisation of diabetes associations in 160 countries. The study said nearly 63% did not even know the complicatio...
Doctors attending the four-day World Congress of Diabetes in April, organised by Diabetes India in Kochi, suggested India-specific treatment guidelines for helping the rapidly growing number of patients in the country.
Dr Jothydev Kesavadev, the organising secretary for the fifth edition of the congress and the moderator for glucose monitoring consensus guidelines, told IPS that low-income patients suffer the most as they lack medical insurance.
"Though there are international guidelines for the treatment of diabetes, there is an urgent need for country-oriented guidelines," he said, "especially in areas of glucose monitoring and use of insulin in hospitals, besides taking into consideration the socioeconomic status of a patient and the country."
Healthcare experts say a combination of dietary pattern, sedentary lifestyle, obesity and genetic predisposition puts Indians at a unique risk of acquiring diabetes. Dr Meenu Hariharan, director of the Indian Institute of Diabetes in Thiruvananthapuram, told IPS that Indians were more prone genetically to diabetes than...
"Reduced physical activity and obesity accelerate the onset of diabetes in genetically predisposed people," she said. Starch-rich diets and increased intake of tinned foods with a high content of preservatives are other culprits. Studies and screening programmes have highlighted the fact that diabetes is spreading fast...
Cases of diabetes are higher in the four southern states – Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala – than in other states, according to the results of a countrywide blood-testing campaign conducted under the national programme for prevention and control of cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and strokes ...
In Tamil Nadu, 11.8% of people tested positive for diabetes, 10.2% in Karnataka, 8.8% in Kerala, and 8.7% in Andhra Pradesh, compared with only 3% in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, which reported the lowest incidence of the disease.
Alarmingly, rural areas are also seeing a rise in diabetes rates, as a fallout of rapid urbanisation. However, the incidence of the disease remains higher in cities than in villages, according to Dr V Ramankutty, a health activist and professor at AMCHSS.
Talking to IPS, he charted the rise in the incidence of the disease. A survey in the early 1970s, he said, found only 2.3% of the urban population and 1.5% of the rural population to have diabetes. But by 1992, the proportion had risen to 8.2% and 2.4% for urban and rural areas, respectively. A repeat survey after five...
But insulin-deficient diabetes in children is less common in India than in western countries, said Dr GD Thapar, former director of the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in New Delhi. In his book How to Lead a Healthy Life Despite Diabetes, he emphasised how crucial breastfeeding is to prevent the disease in children.
Is Alex O’Loughlin leaving Hawaii Five-0 or not? Recently, the star of the CBS TV show spoke with TVLine about his plans for a possible season nine.
Currently in its eighth season, the action series reboot revolves around Detective Steve McGarrett (O’Loughlin) and his elite state police task force in the state of Hawaii. The cast also includes Scott Caan, Ian Anthony Dale, Meaghan Rath, Beulah Koale, Jorge Garcia, Chi McBride, Taylor Wily, Dennis Chun, and Kimee Ba...
To be honest with you, mate, if you had asked me [about re-signing] two years ago, my answer would have been, like, ‘No f’–king way.’ I want a quality of life, and I want to be with my family. I’ve been able to put Humpty together again.
CBS has not yet announced a season nine renewal for Hawaii Five-0, but it seems likely given the series’ solid ratings.
What do you think? Do you watch Hawaii Five-0? Do you want another season?

I absolutely would want the show to continue.
I love this show, one of my favorite remakes, I enjoy watching Hawaii 5 O & pray it returns for another season, please bring back Steve, Danno & The whole gang back!!!!
One of my favorite shows!! Love it. I really miss Kono and Chin Ho Kelly though. The two new people are just okay. But Kono and Chin ho Kelly were awesome. Please bring them back!! Miss my little coroner too. And of course no one can replace my hero McGarrett!!!
Please continue the show. The network should make a deal worthwhile of keeping the leaders interested in staying.
I haven’t been watching Hawaii 5-0 on television. I have been buying the series on blu-ray from Germany. I’ve just got Season 7 a few months ago. I’ve been watching Season 8 on Netflix, and I plan to buy the blu-ray from Germany when it becomes released early next year. I don’t know why Hawaii 5-0 is only being sold on...
I adore Hawaii 5-0❤️ I have watched every single episode at least twice!!! It’s simply incredible and it cannot be done without Alex!
ALBANY (AP) — New York state is setting aside $35 million to expand after-school programs.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the funds on Tuesday.
The Democrat says the investment in the youngest New Yorkers is an investment in the state’s “very future” and will help “level the playing field” for children from vulnerable communities.
The money will go to schools with high childhood poverty rates. Officials say eligible districts can be found throughout the state.
It’s part of an effort by state leaders in Albany to boost after-school enrollment by 36 percent, or more than 20,000 students statewide.
Sure, the Seattle Seahawks‘ 41-36 win over New Orleans in that Wild Card playoff game in January shook the NFL landscape. And it shook the earth, too.
But apparently, the upset over the defending Super Bowl champions was so monumental that it warranted an ESPY nomination. That game, along with three other performances, has been nominated in the Best Upset category.
The Seahawks will be competing against the VCU men’s basketball team and its March Madness run; Blame over Zenyatta in the Breeder’s Cup; and Fabricio Werdum’s upset of Fedor Emilianenko (MMA).
Leon Washington got some ESPY love, too, receiving a nomination under the NFL Strongest Performance Award category for his two kickoff returns for touchdowns against the San Diego Chargers in Week 3. DeAngelo Hall and Arian Foster are also nominated for that award.

HONG KONG — When Hua Yong, a painter in Beijing, first witnessed the eviction of hundreds of thousands of migrant workers from the Chinese capital last month, he worried no one would believe the scope of it.
After a deadly fire in November, Beijing officials introduced an aggressive campaign to tear down apartment buildings and evict migrants from poorer sections of the city. Some residents were given just hours to leave.
Mr. Hua feared China’s strictly controlled news media would not cover the evictions accurately, so he decided to document and publish online his own videos of the crackdown.
Starting in November, he posted to YouTube and WeChat dozens of videos he shot with his mobile phone and a selfie stick. Often, he filmed himself walking past the rubble of demolished buildings, or interviewing the laborers who were promised work and a better life in the capital only to have everything suddenly upended...
It felt like a disaster, he said.
The migrants, many of whom are poorly paid workers who flocked to Beijing from across rural China, have been called the “low-end population” in some government planning documents and the state news media. The authorities now deny any connection with the phrase, which has been taken up by supporters of the displaced.
Mr. Hua, 48, said that were it not for the money he earned from painting, he too would be a member of the “low-end population.” In his conversations with workers, some said they felt painfully unwelcome in Beijing.
“Now they want to move me on to an even safer city C,” he added.
It was not his first run-in with the authorities. In 2012, Mr. Hua was sentenced to a labor camp for a performance in memory of the protesters killed during a 1989 pro-democracy demonstration. In Tiananmen Square he punched himself in the face until his nose started bleeding, then used his blood to write “64,” the way ...
He has made his living as a painter, but now questions the value of such work.
“In an environment where you can’t speak the truth, creating art is utterly worthless,” he said in an interview before he left Beijing.
While not a journalist himself, Mr. Hua has an ability to get just about anyone to talk. His videos show him wandering through streets strewn with the rubble of demolished buildings, chatting effortlessly with security officers and hostel owners, who have seen their tenants and their livelihoods vanish.
One landlord told him how security officers raided her small apartment building, smashing down doors and terrifying the residents. The authorities had also turned off the heat to force them to leave.
In some ways, she said, it was worse than the wartime occupation by the Japanese.
In addition to the evacuations, Mr. Hua has documented the migrants’ response. He filmed a tense scene as some migrants protested outside government offices in one village. They demanded answers from local officials about how they would be compensated for their losses.
He filmed another protest last week in which a few dozen residents of a village in the Daxing district of Beijing blocked a major roadway. “We want heat! We want to eat!” they chanted.
Later that same day, officers tried to throw him out of a meeting hall while he filmed discussions between residents and the police. Residents later drove him out of the village.
That night, Mr. Hua said, the police came to arrest him in the Beijing suburb of Tongzhou. Friends helped him leave Beijing, and he ditched his mobile phone’s SIM card in an effort to avoid being tracked. He continues to post videos and messages online.
“I hope people living in free countries can pay attention to those in unfree countries, and I hope people in unfree countries can bravely stand up and fight for the rights and dignity of being human,” he wrote in a letter he posted on Twitter.
