Diabetes Research & Welfare Association - the journey starts

Our organization started on a very humble footing on 7th September, 2011 as an informal get together of only 4 participants to discuss cases. It was preceded by huge medical camp where more than 500 people participated and thereafter CME on case presentation with Dr. Bijay Patni, Dr. Siddartha Mukherjee, Dr. Arijit Sinha, Dr. Sankarwala as participants was held at Hotel Downtown, VIP Road, Kolkata.Since then every month we have been conducting CME on regular basis. Slowly participants started increasing and on 27th & 28th April , 2013 we held our 1st Annual conference at PunyaLakhsmi, Diamond Harbour924-South Parganas). It was huge success & a definite feeling for the medical fraternity in that area. At least 20 life members of our organization attended & participated in this CME.

Mission & Vision

Diabetes Research & Welfare Association will be engaged in providing Diabetic Education in various ways to create Diabetic awareness. We will update with the latest Diabetes Research & Development. Our effort will be to establish the fact that we can have a better life with Diabetes.

The major objective of our organization is three fold.

1) Academic - We hold monthly CME on case presentation & latest updates. Our endeavour is to give platform to new & bright doctors to speak during the RTM.

2) Social - We conduct various camps - Screening camps, Patient Educational camps, Comprehensive Diabetic Complication Camp. These are conducted as a group or as an individual camp by our life members. We plan to adopt a Village for a year so that free consultation to the citizen of this can be provided for a year.

3) Research - We are looking into Research in diabetic field and will undertake such a result after due process of formalities are done.

Diabetic Foot

A diabetic foot is a foot that exhibits any pathology that results directly from diabetes mellitus or any long-term (or "chronic") complication of diabetes mellitus.[1] Presence of several characteristic diabetic foot pathologies is called diabetic foot syndrome. These are thus umbrella terms. The most serious foot complications in diabetes are. 1) Ulceration - Research estimates that the lifetime incidence of foot ulcers within the diabetic community is around 15% and may become as high as 25%.2) Infection 3) Neuropathic osteoarthropathy.

Facts about Diabetes

1) MYTH: You must avoid sugar at all costs. Fact: The good news is that you can enjoy your favorite treats as long as you plan properly. Dessert doesn't have to be off limits, as long as it's a part of a healthy meal plan or combined with exercise. 2) MYTH: A high-protein diet is best. Fact: Studies have shown that eating too much protein, especially animal protein, may actually cause insulin resistance, a key factor in diabetes. A healthy diet includes protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Our bodies need all three to function properly. The key is a balanced diet. 3) MYTH: You have to cut way down on carbs. Fact: Again, the key is to eat a balanced diet. The serving size and the type of carbohydrates you eat are especially important. Focus on whole grain carbs since they are a good source of fiber and they are digested slowly, keeping blood sugar levels more even. 4) MYTH: You'll no longer be able to eat normally. You need special diabetic meals. Fact: The principles of healthy eating are the same-whether or not you're trying to prevent or control diabetes. Expensive diabetic foods generally offer no special benefit. You can easily eat with your family and friends if you eat in moderation.
