"Can you imagine a world where every diabetic patient is instantly connected with every other diabetic patient? Where the treatments that work (whether allopathy, alternative or in between) surface from the collective intelligence of diabetic patients distributed throughout the world? The causes, cures, and treatments we can discover from the symphony of diabetic patient experiences going on in real-time throughout the world, to me, is a mind blowing proposition.

When I realized that the information a diabetic patient had built up from his experience could help other diabetic patients, I started Indian Diabetics Foundation (www.diabetics.org.in): to help as many diabetic patients as I possibly could and share the information other diabetic patients learned with them. But I knew there were tons of diabetic patients around the world who had gone through their own journeys and had extremely valuable health information to share themselves. And by sharing it, they could help other diabetic patients. Indian Diabetics Foundation (www.diabetics.org.in) makes it possible for diabetic patients around the world to share and learn from one another. I believe strongly in the power of connecting people. I think that when motivated people are connected, greatness is produced. If we've done our job right with Indian Diabetics Foundation, the interface itself should fade into the background, and the relationships on the website should shine.

People with diabetes walk around generating an incredible amount of data about their health every second of every day, but we just let that data disappear. We don't know how well most treatments actually work in the wild. Indian Diabetics Foundation (www.diabetics.org.in) allows diabetic patients to collaborate, share health and treatment information with each other, and track and share their health. Diabetics patients learn from each other experiences in a massively scalable way. This turns the traditional medical model on it's head. I think this is a better model for healthcare.

Let the diabetic patient revolution begin."

26 TIPS FOR MANAGING STRESS

1. Always take time for yourself, at least 30 minutes per day.

2. Be aware of your own stress meter: Know when to step back and cool down.

3. Concentrate on controlling your own situation, without controlling
everybody else.

4. Daily exercise will burn off the stress chemicals.

5. Eat lots of fresh fruit, veggies, bread and water, give your body the best for it to perform at its best.

6. Forgive others, don't hold grudges and be tolerant -- not everyone is as capable as you.

7. Gain perspective on things, how important is the issue?

8. Hugs, kisses and laughter: Have fun and don't be afraid to share your feelings with others.

9. Identify stressors and plan to deal with them better next time.

10. Judge your own performance realistically; don't set goals out of your own reach.

11. Keep a positive attitude, your outlook will influence outcomes and the way others treat you.

12. Limit alcohol, drugs and other stimulants, they affect your perception and behaviour.

13. Manage money well, seek advice and save at least 10 per cent of what you earn.

14. No is a word you need to learn to use without feeling guilty.

15. Outdoor activities by yourself, or with friends and family, can be a great way to relax.

16. Play your favourite music rather than watching television.

17. Quit smoking: It is stressing your body daily, not to mention killing you too.

18. Relationships: Nurture and enjoy them, learn to listen more and talk less.

19. Sleep well, with a firm mattress and a supportive pillow; don't overheat yourself and allow plenty of ventilation.

20. Treat yourself once a week with a massage, dinner out, the movies: Moderation is the key.

21. Understand things from the other person's point of view.

22. Verify information from the source before exploding.

23. Worry less, it really does not get things completed better or quicker.

24. Xpress: Make a regular retreat to your favourite space, make holidays part of your yearly plan and budget.

25. Yearly goal setting: Plan what you want to achieve based on your priorities in your career, relationships, etc.

26. Zest for life: Each day is a gift, smile and be thankful that you are a part of the bigger picture.
