Hi,

Foot amputations, heart attacks and kidney diseases have always been a cause of worry in diabetes patients. Now we have a drug which can significantly reduce all the three and this has been proven in well-conducted controlled global studies; it’s Liraglutide(Victoza).

Dr. Jothydev Kesavadev was presented with the ‘Diacon Gold Medal Oration Award’ at the International Diabetes Convention, Ahmedabad, which forms the Gems picture of the month.

The 14th P.Kesavadev Awards was given away by Hon. Governor of Kerala Shri.Retd Justice P.Sathasivam. The Kesavadev Literary Award was won by Shri. Prabha Varma and the Kesavadev Diabscreen Kerala Award by Lt. Col. (Hony). V. Mohanlal.
