Two books, one on the challenges men and women with Type-1 diabetes faced to achieve their ambitions and the other, a Tamil translation of the English autobiography of diabetologist V. Mohan, were launched on Monday.
Health Secretary J. Radhakrishnan, who launched Banting, Bose and Beyond, a collection of stories of people whose lives were changed by insulin, said Dr. Mohan had touched on a topical subject of Type-1 diabetes.
“COVID-19 has made sure the public wants to know more. Such a book will reach them,” he said. “Each story captures the scenario of the patients. If you go by what experts say, you can live a healthy, positive life,” he said. Roshan Poncha, a Type-1 diabetic for over 40 years, received the first copy of the book.
