Found this at http://masalamagic.blogspot.com/ and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Ingredients

4	Potatoes - Peeled and Washed
1	cup Green Peas (Fresh or Frozen is good)
2	tsp Red Chili Powder
1/2	tsp Turmeric Powder
1	tsp Coriander Powder
1	tsp Cumin Seeds
2	tbsp Clarified Butter
1	Salt to taste

Directions

1. Peel, Wash and Chop the Potatoes into cubes.
   
   
2. Recipe calls for a pressure cooker, but I just cooked the potatoes in a pyrex bowl covered with syran wrap in the microwave.
   
   
3. Heat the clarified butter, then add the cumin seeds and the green peas.
   
   
4. Add all the dry powders, mix well and saute for about a minute.
   
   
5. Add the chopped potato cubes and salt, mix well.
   
   
6. Close with the lid and cook the mixture on medium until heated thoroughly.

stone age diet for DM2

there is some discussion as to why the Dm 2 rate is going up in present day world ,one contention is that it is diet
so some one has started a trial.

Natural killer cells_islet cell transplants

there are 2 big problems in islet cell transplants for curing (see the word CURE)diabetes .
1) lack of sufficent donor islet cells .
2)destruction of transplanted cells.
may be we are finding ways and means of combating the second problem

It is a proud moment for us to see an Indian (NAGENDRA SINGE) working with the japanese in USA

the same chemical is found to help protect transplanted islet cells .
Discovery Could Boost Type 1 Diabetes Care
Researchers spot key player in success of transplanted insulin-producing cells
TUESDAY, Sept. 27 (HealthDay News) -- The survival of transplanted insulin-producing cells is improved when activation of "natural killer T" immune cells is blocked, Japanese researchers report.
They believe the finding could help boost the effectiveness of islet cell transplants for the treatment of insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes. This form of the disease (affecting about 5 percent of diabetics) is caused by the destruction of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas by the body's own immune T-cells.
Transplantation of these "islet cells" requires patientto continue lifelong immunosuppression therapy.Even with immunosuppression treatment, up to half the transplanted islet cells are quickly destroyed by the patient's own T-cells, however.
In their research with mice, the Japanese team showed that natural killer T (NTK) cells instigate this rapid destruction of transplanted islet cells. When the NKT cells become activated -- most likely in response to the stress of the transplant procedure -- they produce an inflammatory molecule called interferon (IFN)-gamma.
It's this molecule that helps activate immune T-cells to destroy islet cells, the researchers report in the Oct. 3 issue of the Journal of Experimental Medicine.
Transplanted islet cells survived in mice that lacked NKT cells or were unable to produce IFN-gamma, the researchers found. They also found that multiple doses of the drug alpha-galactosylceramide caused NKT cells to produce less IFN-gamma. Decreased production of IFN-gamma greatly improved the survival of transplanted islet cells, the study found.
According to the Japanese team, multiple doses of the drug -- currently in human clinical trials -- may help prevent the early loss of transplanted islet cells in humans.


In an extension of the same anology
this same chemical may prove to be useful in preventing rejection of other transplanted organs .

getting serious about telugu Diabetes educational site

Ihave been collecting content for the last 1 year to stsart this web site but hasnt had enough spare time to up load articles

it will be set up at daibetiisu.com
unless we educate evry one about theses diseases and how to take care of them properly we are going to see a major portion of GDP of India being wasted on treating complications and in wasted man hours .

www.ekjalak.com

I have taken the first steps to create the web page for diabetis education in regional languages I have registeres a domain name called ekjalak.com
this is hindi for a view /glance .
as the subject is so vast all we can do is to give the patients a glance at proper diabetes management .I hope I will be able to interest others to join me in this task.
