The #HyderabadHorror invoking the veterinary doctor and following #encounter by the Hyderabad police raises important questions for the Indian nation.
1. It has been years since the outcry in #nirbhaya case. However rapes continue to go on across the country. No government has been able to solve the problem at a systematic level. When will India be safe for women ?
2. The positive response of the general public to the #Encounter shows that the Indian public has NO FAITH in the Indian legal and judicial process. When will faith in our institutions and systems be restored ?
3. Why is the prime minister @narendramodi and @AmitShah silent on the issue ? Doesn't safety of women in India concern them ?
4. While the #hyderabadpolice have been hailed as heros by the nation, they will face severe backlash from the legal system including suspensions and dismissals and possible criminal actions. Will India be ready to stand for them when they face legal action ?
5. Would a celebrity lawyer fight for these cops pro-bono if legal action is initiated against them ?
6. Will the Indian Twitter public be ready to crowdfund for legal defence for the #hyderabadpolice in case of legal issues ?
7. Are encounters the only justice left in India ?
8. Finally, I do feel we have had #justiceforpriyanakareddy but the root problem is not solved. I will reserve my opinions regarding the 'means' of justice here.
9. We need to fight the root cause and make sure this does not happen again.
Jai Hind.

🧵 Twitter Thread: The Surprising Case of a 6-Year-Old with Diabetes Mellitus
1/ Hey Twitterverse! 🌟 Today, I want to share an intriguing case that highlights the importance of considering all possibilities when diagnosing diabetes in children. Meet a 6-year-old boy who presented with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus. #Diabetes #MODY #Pediatrics
2/ At first, we thought of the typical type 1 diabetes, which is quite common in children. So, we treated him accordingly with insulin therapy. But there was something that didn't quite add up. 🤔 #Type1Diabetes #InsulinTherapy

Q. What is Hemoglobin Glycation Index ?
1/5: 🩸 The Hemoglobin Glycation Index (HGI) compares a person’s actual HbA1c level to their predicted level based GMI (glucose management index) value from CGM
2/5: 📊 The HGI is calculated by subtracting the estimated HbA1c from the measured HbA1c. A high HGI suggests increased glycation rate, linked to microvascular complications in diabetes.
