14th November -THE WORLD DIABETES DAY.
in fighting against this diabetis epidemic, We have compiled some basic rough easy to learn formulae to memorise easily.
Formula of 80
Keep fasting blood sugar <80>Keep the lower BP <80>Keep LDL cholesterol <80>Keep abdominal girth <80
Keep resting pulse <80/minute
Keep HDL cholesterol >40 (half of eighty)
Keep TriGlycerides <160>
If fasting sugar is between 80 and 160 (80x2), try lifestyle change and/or metformin.
If blood sugar is between 160 (80x2) and 240 (80x3), you may need two drugs
If blood sugar is between 240 (80x 3) and 320 (80x 4), you may need three drugs or two drugs with insulin.
If blood sugar is >320 mg% (80x4 ), you may need insulin with or without oral drugs.
Formula of 3
For insulin start 0.3 units/kg body weight.
For moderate cases you can start 0.6 units/kg body weight (0.3 x 2).
For obesity one can start with 0.9 units/kg body weight (0.3 x 3).
Increase by three units every third day.
Do A1C every three months.
Start insulin if three drugs fail.
1500 formula
Dividing 1500 with the total daily insulin dose will provide the change in blood sugar levels with one unit of insulin.
500 formula
Dividing 500 with total daily dose of insulin will give the grams of carbohydrates required to neutralize one unit of insulin.

Hello Doctor,
Hope to find you in good health and wealth.
My name is Jyothirmayee and basically from Hyderabad but, presently working in Bangalore. I have been doing my part of service to the mankind by supporting the flood affected people in any possible manner. I am not a part of any NGO or group but, I do all this work with the help of a few like minded people. The details of a couple of flood relief that I have conducted can be found if you scroll down this email.
Based on my yesterday’s trip to Sunkesula village in Kurnool district (where I arranged a medical camp) I would like to bring to your attention the need of medical assistance in these villages in Kurnool district. This population is in most urgent need of relief supplies such as clean water, food, medicines and shelter. I would like to know if you know any one from Kurnool Medical college graduates who can help me arrange a continuous medical support in these villages. Being an engineer by profession I am handicapped in this situation.
Hoping to receive your response, I thank you in anticipation. And I would like to apologize if I have wasted your time by sending this mail.
Thanks and Regards,
Jyothirmayee Pola
