Insulin is required by the body cellsto remove and use glucose from the blood. The insulin and its various analogues are essential in management of type 1 diabetes mellitus. This study has been done to analyze how variation in various storage conditions and climatic changes causes change in therapeutic efficacy. Storage condition affects the stability of insulin as observed in a study in which insulin stored at temperature between 32 and 37°C showed 14 to 18% decrease in its potency and could not cause a significant decrease in blood sugar level when compared with those receiving insulin stored at 5°C.

Among the forefront health issues are the escalating incidence of noncommunicable and chronic diseases. The nature of these conditions imposes a significant burden on health resources. However, the greater and often silent brunt is borne by the people afflicted by them. They are charged with making lifelong, daily decisions that significantly bear an impact on their care. The health educator workforce is dwindling, but the need for health literacy is on the rise. It is therefore critical that health educators need to be trained in a way that ensures their performance in imparting health-related knowledge and skills is maximized to ensure optimal outcomes in persons living with chronic disease. Patient empowerment is key, and embracing the patients as partners in the education process rather than recipients is advocated by numerous authors. It is also important to ensure we embrace evidence that have proven useful in other areas such as HIV/AIDS management. Last, it is useful to embrace the changing role of the health education, not merely as instructor charged to deliver health information but rather as a facilitator of behavior change.","PeriodicalId":131259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Health and Diabetes","volume":"07 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129307906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Without conversation, no meaningful social activity can take place. While most communication through this mode is pleasant, some conversations may turn out to be difficult. Such conversations can be characterized by any of the following: discomfort or distress prior to the interview, during the talk, or after completing the meeting. The “difficulty” of a conversation may be due to the topic of the discussion, the personal characteristics of the conversant, or perhaps the external environment. It is not necessary for every “optimal” conversation to end in agreement, neither is every interview marked by disagreement considered “difficult.” These features are universal. They apply to conversations in health care and diabetes care, just as they do in other professional and personal domains.","PeriodicalId":131259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Health and Diabetes","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134181113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incidence of T1DM continues to increase worldwide, and has serious shortand longterm implications. According to the latest data presented by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), globally, nearly 96,000 new children are diagnosed to have T1DM every year.1 Of these, more than half are living in developing nations, with India being home to an estimated 97,700 children with T1DM2 and adding 11,300 new cases annually (onset < 15 years).1 Available Indian data reveal different opinions regarding the prevalence of T1DM in the country. Whereas Chennai reports 3.2 cases/100,000 children, Karnataka records 17.93 cases/100,000 children and Karnal in Haryana follows the middle path with 10.2 cases/100,000 children.3–5 Diabetes in children cannot be controlled without their active involvement. This is possible only if children across India are educated and informed about diabetes. An analysis to assess the diabetes awareness among school going children, of the science curriculum, using diabetes/juvenile diabetes/pancreas/insulin/endocrine system as keywords was performed. The Books of National Council of Educational Research and Training/Central Board of Secondary Education (NCERT/ CBSE) curricula from class 6 till class 10 were analyzed.6–10 Total pages devoted to the biological sciences from class 6 to class 10 were 316. The aforementioned keywords appeared just five times. There are hardly 10 lines in the 5-year curriculum, with only a superficial mention of diabetes and insulin. The terms “type 1 diabetes” and “type 2 diabetes” are not mentioned at all. For ease of statistical evaluation, even if all these lines are combined, they hardly constitute half a page. Thus, diabetes gets nearly 0.0015% weightage of the total biology syllabus. This small yet significant research shows the amount of insensitivity of our syllabus or curriculum designers toward the epidemic of diabetes. It is imperative to make the children aware of this disease that is affecting millions of them.","PeriodicalId":131259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Health and Diabetes","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131181475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
