What if we could map the human brain, cell by cell, across every stage of life? IIT Madras is turning this vision into reality! As reported in NDTV, the Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre at IIT Madras is creating 3D atlases of over 100 human brains, from the foetal stage to old age. Launched by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, this pioneering initiative brings together nearly 200 researchers and over 30–40 doctors. In this exclusive interaction, Prof. Mohanasankar Sivaprakasam, Head of the Centre, takes us inside this groundbreaking work, showcasing indigenously developed technologies, advanced imaging and AI-driven research. With the world's first whole-human-brain Stroke Atlas, C-Stroke, and publicly accessible brain maps, this research could advance our understanding of neurological disorders, drug discovery and brain surgery.

An early dinner can make a difference to your blood sugar. Many of us in India eat dinner at 9 or 10 PM, but the timing of your meals matters too. Eating earlier may help with blood sugar control and metabolic health. If possible, try to finish dinner by 7–7:30 PM and avoid eating too close to bedtime. Small changes in your daily routine can support better health, especially if you're managing diabetes or are at risk of type 2 diabetes. #DrVMohan #diabetesmanagement #bloodsugarcontrol #dinnertiming #latenighteating #healthyeatinghabits #metabolichealth #type2diabetesprevention

When I was growing up as a child, I often heard about the prestigious Joslin Medal, awarded to individuals who have lived for 50 or more years with Type 1 diabetes. Little did I imagine that one day, I would have the privilege of presenting a similar recognition in India in the form of the “Dr V Mohan Medal for Long Term Survivors with Diabetes”. This year, we had the immense pleasure of honouring 10 individuals who have lived with Type 2 diabetes for more than 50 years, with the “Dr V Mohan Diabetes Golden Jubilee Award”. What makes this even more remarkable is that the individual with the longest duration has lived with “Type 2 diabetes” for an incredible 65 years, is now 95 years old and has good health with virtually no complications! This year’s initiative follows our earlier recognition in 2021, when we honoured six individuals with “Type 1 diabetes” who had lived with the condition for 60 years or more. This year, we turned our attention to the remarkable journeys of people living with Type 2 diabetes. These extraordinary individuals are living proof that diabetes need not prevent anyone from living a long, healthy and fulfilling life. With timely diagnosis, appropriate treatment, regular monitoring, discipline and a positive attitude, it is absolutely possible to live well with diabetes for decades. Their lives are not just stories of survival; they are stories of courage, resilience and inspiration for millions of people living with diabetes. Diabetes may be a lifelong condition, but it need not limit the length or quality of life. My heartfelt congratulations to all the awardees. You are an inspiration to us all! 🙏🏻

You don't have to give up your favourite fruits just because you have type 1 diabetes. Oranges, guava and pomegranate can all be part of your diet. What matters is understanding their carbohydrate content, being mindful of portion sizes and accounting for carbohydrates when calculating mealtime insulin. Whole fruits provide fibre, vitamins and minerals that support a balanced diet. Choosing whole fruit over juice can also help you manage portions more easily. With the right guidance, you can enjoy a variety of fruits while managing your blood sugar. If you're unsure how to include them in your meal plan, speak to your diabetes care team. #DrVMohantips #DrVMohanadvice #Type1diabetes #diabetesdiet #fruitsfordiabetes #bloodsugar #management #diabetesnutrition
