The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea is being repeatedly weakened by
arbitrary interpretation of its definition by some nations, said Defence Minister
AIR FORCE TO UPGRADE RAFALE
FIGHTER FLEET FROM JAN 2022
Having already received around 30 Rafale com-
bat aircraft from France, the Indian Air Force
would start upgrading its fleet of French-origin
fighters from January 2022, with India-specific en-
hancements. “A high-level team of Indian Air Force
officers is in France to evaluate the performance
of the testbed aircraft with tail number RB-008
at the Istres airbase there. The aircraft has been
equipped with all the India Specific Enhancements
agreed upon between the two sides in the 2016
contract,” government sources told ANI.
Mumbai: Taking a dig
at China, Defence Min-
ister Rajnath Singh on
Sunday said “some ir-
responsible nations”
with their narrow par-
tisan interests and he-
gemonic tendencies are
coming up with wrong
definitions of the UN
Convention on the Law
of the Sea (UNCLOS).
It is a matter of con-
cern that UNCLOS is
being repeatedly weak-
ened by arbitrary inter-
pretation of its defini-
tion by some nations,
Mr Singh said, after
commissioning of In-
dian Navy’s destroyer
Visakhapatnam.
“Some irresponsible
nations, with their nar-
row partisan interests,
hegemonic tendencies
are coming with wrong
definitions of interna-
tional laws,” Mr Singh
said. Indigenously-built
stealth guided missile
destroyer Visakhapat-
nam, packed with an ar-
ray of missiles and anti-
submarine rockets, was
commissioned in pres-
ence of top naval com-
manders.
‘Visakhapatnam’ is
equipped with weapons
and sensors, including
supersonic surface-to-
surface and surface-to-
air missiles.

next elections
start from today: CM
3 Portfolios to
be announced
on Monday
Aditi Nagar/Naresh Sharma
Jaipur: With merely 24
months left for the po-
litical climate to change
in Rajasthan and as-
sembly elections take
place for 2023, the Con-
gress High Command
directed its ‘soldiers’ to
invest in the ‘mantra’ :
Unity. And like the ma-
triarch of the party - So-
nia Gandhi - directed,
the party leaders put a
grand show of unity on
Sunday wherein Chief
Minister Ashok Gehlot
went one step forward
and included 5 mem-
bers from Pilot’s camp
into his cabinet, includ-
ing 3 cabinet and 2 MoS
berths. Reciprocating
on the same, Sachin Pi-
lot, who was at logger-
heads with Gehlot till a
year back, came out in
full support of the gov-
ernment and even
mixed with the Gehlot
camp leaders like there
was no love lost, ever.
And it is this unity, on
the basis of which the
Congress party hopes to
bring a dent in BJP’s
fortunes and form gov-
ernment in 2023, an
idea on which both the
camps agree upon!
Rajasthan Chief Min-
ister Ashok Gehlot, on
Sunday, said that the
Congresspartywillonce
againemergevictorious
in the 2023 assembly
polls in Rajasthan and
form the government.
His remarks came as 15
MLAs took oath as min-
isters in the Rajasthan
government on Sunday
.
“We will all unite and
take the policy
, ideology
and programmes of
Congresstothecommon
people under the leader-
ship of Sonia Gandhi
and Rahul Gandhi and
win the 2023 assembly
polls on the issue of de-
velopment and form the
governmentagain,”said
Gehlot in a tweet. In an-
other tweet, he wished
alltheMLAstakingoath
as cabinet ministers to-
day and said that the
government has provid-
ed sensitive, transpar-
ent,accountablegovern-
ance to the people and
hastakenthestatetothe
path of development de-
spite the adverse cir-
cumstances.
“During our term,
people have put a stamp
of approval on our gov-
ernance by giving vic-
tory to the Congress
party in various by-elec-
tions and local bodies
elections. We all have to
maintain this trust of
the public in the times
to come. For this, the
work has to be contin-
ued with full hard work
and dedication,” he add-
ed in another tweet.
In fact, Sunday’s
‘Congress’ was a far cry
from the Congress the
people of Rajasthan
have become accus-
tomed to observing as
the two ‘factions’ came
together at Raj Bhawan
giving a message that
the past was Turn to P8

LOYALTY PAYS, MAHESH JOSHI
IS NOW CABINET MINISTER!
Aditi Nagar
They say being loyal to a leader will someday place
you good. And the shining example of an unrelent-
ing loyalty, whether the times are good
or bad, is former Chief Whip Mahesh
Joshi, who was inducted in Gehlot’s
cabinet on Sunday. Joshi, who is known
to be a trusted lieutenant of Gehlot, is
also one of Gehlot’s staunch supporters
and his ‘Man Friday’. Over the years,
Joshi has proved his worth both politically and as an
asset to the party and therefore, gehlot too trusts him.

Eastern Rajasthan
has got good rep-

Cabinet reshuffle.
Three ministers are
from Dausa district,
4 from Bharatpur
district. Bharatpur
shares border with
UP where Assem-
bly polls are going
to take place. This
is the reason why
Bhajan Lal Jatav,
who is the only
Jatav minister, got
promotion. There
are now 2 ministers
each from Alwar,
Jhunjhunu, Jaipur
and Banswara dis-
tricts while three
ministers are from
Bikaner.
After induction of
12 new ministers,
GAD will have to
allot them bunga-
lows immediately.
However, finding
bungalows of the
choice of these
ministers will be an
uphill task.

INTERNAL STRIFE WILL
MAR CONGRESS: RAMLAL
First India Bureau
Jaipur: After the Cabi-
net reshuffle, the BJP
said differences are al-
ready visible and that
the internal strife in
the Congress govern-
ment will come to the
fore in the coming
times. Out of 13 inde-
pendent MLAs, not a
single MLA has been
made a minister be-
cause of which they
are sad.
Of the six MLAs who
joined Congress from
BSP, only one MLA has
been made minister. Ig-
noring the senior
MLAs may cost the
Congress in the coming
days.
State BJP chief
spokesperson and MLA
Ramlal Sharma said
that Johri Lal Meena’s
statement came after
Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot’s cabinet re-
shuffle and he has ex-
pressed displeasure.
“Sachin Pilot’s advice
to the Congress to unite
is a sham,” he said.
Ramlal said neglect-
ing senior leaders will
cost the Congress.

which also got cured
after treatment.

released by the Medical
and Health Depart-
ment, 18 new Covid

been reported in the
state on Sunday. The

tive cases.

with a view of attract-

boosting local tourism,
the Utsav will witness a
chain of events. Ironi-

pandemic-induced re-

went far into the pond
where water was too
deep for them to keep
afloat and got drowned.
Seeing them drown-
ing, the friends sitting
on the bank shouted for
help. Nearby residents
rushed to the spot but it
was too late then. They
informed police who
fished out the bodies af-

AS SIDHU STIRS
ANOTHER ROW,
CONGRESS REMAINS
UNCONCERNED
unjab Congress pres-
ident Navjot Singh
Sidhu, who had ear-
lier attracted contro-
versy for warmly
hugging Pakistan’s army chief
General Qamar Bajwa during
his visit in 2018, stirred a row for
calling Prime Minister Imran
Khan his “elder brother”. Sidhu
had defended his 2018 act by say-
ing that the hug lasted only a few
seconds.
On a visit to Sikh holy shrine
at Kartarpur Sahib which falls
in the neighbouring country,
Sidhu called for opening of Pun-
jab borders for trade with Paki-
stan as he profusely thanked
Imran Khan for allowing Sikhs
from India to visit the Kartar-
pur shrine.
At a time when the presence
of Taliban and ISIS in Afghani-
stan and given Pakistan’s du-
plicity, Sidhu’s gushing over
Imran Khan and hugging Gen
Bajwa, however briefly, makes
him a risky player in the border
state. Captain Amarinder Singh,
who raised suspicions about
him, briefed Union Home Minis-
ter Amit Shah and NSA Ajit
Doval about the security situa-
tion in Punjab. But the Con-
gress is unconcerned.
TOP TWEETS
P
id the Mumbai
Narcotics Control
Bureau (NCB) of-
ficials have an ul-
terior motive in
framing Aryan Khan, Arbaaz
Merchant and Munmun Dha-
mecha in a drug racket? The
Bombay High Court’s de-
tailed order granting bail to
Aryan Khan tore into the
NCB’s charges against the
superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s
son, raising doubts about the
NCB officials’ real intent in
arresting Aryan Khan and
two others and keeping them
in jail for 25 days.
The high court’s order
said, “There is hardly any
positive evidence on record
to convince this Court that
all the accused persons with
common intention agreed to
commit unlawful act. Rather
the investigation carried out
till this date suggests that Ap-
plicant/Accused nos. 1 2
(Aryan and Merchant respec-
tively) were travelling inde-
pendent of Applicant/Ac-
cused no. 3 (Dhameecha) and
there was no meeting of
minds.” The court also re-
jected NCB’s claim that
WhatsApp chat showed Ary-
an’s links with trafficking
and said nothing objectiona-
ble was found in the chats.
The court also did not
agree with the NCB’s theory
that since the three accused
were to travel together on
cruise hence they were
linked. As there was no med-
ical examination done the
court also trashed argument
that the accused had admit-
ted to drug consumption.
With so many loopholes in
its charge-sheet and so many
doubts being raised about the
NCB’s intentions in arrest-
ing the trio has left the NCB’s
credibility badly eroded. Af-
ter Rhea Chakraborty this is
the second major NCB case to

D
CLIMATE CLIMAX: AN
INCONVENIENT TRUTH
conomic growth has always
been the niche target of the
socio-economic agenda. The
mechanics of this inconven-
ient truth is simple: higher
economic activity tends to go
hand in hand with additional
social power. Therefore, pow-
er balance hanged for long on
the cents minted by econom-
ic progress. Although,
through this quest energy
and natural resource con-
sumption went off the charts.
This also led the climate to
push its boundaries beyond
its capacity. It has been pro-
posed that land temperatures
are rising faster than before.
Other natural resources such
as water, clean air, and the
never-ending list of products
that the human race requires
to sustain are getting closer
to the red zone. Climate
change is an unavoidable
consequence when the green-
house effect is affected. With
which the average tempera-
ture of the planet would not
be suitable for living. This
increase in global tempera-
ture increase brings disas-
trous results from melting of
the ice mass to vanishing
some parts of the land alto-
gether through the high rise
of water.
Global warming quivers
everyone’s food and water se-
curity. In many parts of the
world, crops that have sur-
vived effortlessly for centu-
ries are struggling to survive,
making food stability more
inadequate. Disasters linked
to climate and weather ex-
tremes have always been part
of our Earth’s system. But
they are becoming more fre-
quent and intense as the
world warms. No continent is
left untouched, with heat-
waves, droughts, typhoons,
and hurricanes causing mass
destructionaroundtheworld,
the climate issue is becoming
more and more urgent.
If we reflect, humans have
negatively influenced the
natural climatic balance of
and around the earth. From
burning coal, gas, and cutting
down trees to increasing live-
stock farming many factors
contribute to this change. In
the past few years, European
countries have experienced
record heat waves that are
unnatural to the climatic con-
ditions. Floods were also part
of the trail. These are all
signs that the capacity of our
planet to fight back the im-
posed threats is decreasing
with every passing day and
soon we will run out of time.
These are all climate change
indicators. We assume that
the melting ice in the Arctic
is way too far from us to
throw its negative spell but
what we fail to notice is how
this melting ice, as a result of
climate change is gradually
contributing massively to the
rising sea level that results
further in floods in the part
of the world where it is more
unlikely to occur. This is a
real concern for those living
in low-lying coastal areas. We
are currently facing the
worst-case scenario of the cli-
mate change emergency and
its environmental deteriora-
tion effects. The large-scale
measurements should be
taken care of by the govern-
mental institutions of the
world to withhold this inevi-
table threat to the survival of
the human race and other
forms of life. At the same
time, individual efforts
should not be belittled while
every step matters.
The youth of today’s world
plays a crucial role in it as
they are a vital segment of
our society
. They are the by-
standers of the change and
extinctions. They are perhaps
more aware than any other
lot. Each one of them can help
curtail global warming. We
all make choices and if we
make them more consciously
we can influence the climate
positively
. We can promote
theyouthtoadheretosustain-
able life practices which are
environment friendly such as
using a bike more, generating
less waste, or maybe recoup-
ing the source of energy at
home and to dwell more upon
the solar energy
. However
small these steps seem to be
they are very mighty and can
lead the unprecedented
change and reverse the cli-
mate crisis. The changes the
young people will make in
their lifestyle would contrib-
ute to the positive steering of
climate change.
A common problem, whose
consequence everyone will
bear, needs collective effort
from everyone. To achieve
the profound reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions
required to cope with the cli-
mate crisis, the world there-
fore basically needs to pon-
der upon this inevitable dis-
aster more determinedly
. On
the one hand, we are worry-
ing unremittingly, how our
generation Z will cope with
the struggles of life, on the
other hand, we are letting the
thought fall between the
cracks how the coming gen-
erations will survive with
this speed of climate change.
We need to be more aware
that this debate about cli-
mate is not theoretical, it’s
very real and unfortunately
more urgent than any other
progressive docket.

Rakesh Ranjan
New Delhi: The Union
government is said to
be toying with the idea
to make some sort of
‘combat training’ (CT)
part of the curriculum
for new recruits to All
India services and cen-
tral services during
their training at the Lal
Bahadur Shastri Na-
tional Academy of Ad-
ministration (LBS-
NAA), Mussoorie.
Since CT is not a
one-time affair as it
has to be constantly
practiced to keep one
agile and versatile in
the art, it’s not known
how the government
may execute this new
idea, or at least popu-
larize it among new
recruits to turn them
into believers.
It is being said that
the course for CT is al-
ready defined and it
may be included as
part of the physical
training very soon that
includes horse-riding,
mountain trekking,
river rafting, etc.
The credit for this
‘innovative’ idea is giv-
en to PM Narendra
Modi himself, while
NSA Ajit Doval is cred-
ited with expounding
the idea in the public.
Addressing the passing
out parade of IPS offic-
ers (Dikshant Sa-
maroh) at SVP Nation-
al Police Academy
(SVP NPA), Hyderabad,
last week, he obliquely
referred to an old Kau-
tilyan doctrine, and
spoke of enemy nations
can ‘subvert civil soci-
ety’ to hurt India. Does
this mean CT for civil-
ian officers helps check
the subversion of civil
society? How?
Since its re-arrival in
2014 and continuation
in 2019, the NDA ad-
ministration has been
keenly pushing several
projects to improve the
administrative culture
by way of introduction
of 360-degree evalua-
tion and assessment
process, accelerated
pace and weightage for
lateral entry of domain
experts, a revamped
foundation course for
trainees, a proposed
university and deliber-
ations on a separate
ministry for training,
posting the IAS proba-
tioners at Centre before
joining respective cad-
res, etc.
Recent decisions on
re-appointing top offi-
cials in key depart-
ments on a contract
basis, forced retire-
ment of “tainted” offic-
ers, increase in the ten-
ures of ED, CBI, RAW,
Defence Secretary
Home Secretary are
also claimed as moves
to create a better and
efficient administra-
tion.
Whatever the merits
or demerits of these in-
novative processes in-
troduced in the admin-
istration, we have not
been given empirical
evidence of how, and to
what degree, these
measures have helped
improve the govern-
ment’s efficiency index.

mand for legislation to

Aditi Nagar
New Delhi: While eve-
rything in politics may
remin uncertain, but
one thing that remains
a ‘constant’ is that
times and siutuations
change and play a
large part on the
growth of any politi-
cian. With the current
state of ‘disorganised’
affairs of the Ra-
jasthan BJP, and its
shameful defeat in the
by-election, it seems
that the ‘winds of
change’ are here.
There is a strong
murmur in the ‘saf-
fron circle’ that ‘New
Delhi’ may really be
rethinking on the
name of two time
Chief Minister ‘Mad-
ame Vasundhara Raje’
in the backdrop of 2023
elections.
Initially there were
reports that the high
command was miffed
with ‘Madam’ but now
maybe the situation is
slowly changing be-
cause in spite of all the
efforts over the past
three years, no effec-
tive alternative to
Madam has coming to
the fore, yet. This ques-
tion has become more
serious due to the de-
feat of BJP in the last
two by-elections.
In the past, know-
ingly or unknowingly,
former state president
Ashok Parnami had
given indications in
Banswara, of the next
assembly election to be
fought under the lead-
ership of Raje and al-
though the top leader-

Jaipur: Congress lead-
er Sachin Pilot on Sun-
day, claimed that there
is no factionalism in
the Rajasthan unit of
the party and stated
that the party will
work together to bring
forth misdeeds of BJP
before people.
This comes ahead of
thescheduledRajasthan
Cabinet's reshuffle later
in the day
. Speaking to
the media here, Pilot
said, Congress is work-
ingundertheleadership
of Sonia Gandhi, Rahul
Gandhi and Priyanka
Gandhi Vadra. Party
workers will have to
work together to bring
forth misdeeds of BJP
before people. There
are no factions in the
party. The decision of
Cabinet reshuffle has
been taken together.
I had met party pres-
ident Sonia Gandhi in
Delhi, we discussed a
lot of issues. I carried
out all responsibilities
given to me by the party
in the last 20 years, with
dedication. In the time
to come, I will work
wherever the party
sends me, he replied
when asked about his
future role in the party
.
Pilot also expressed
his satisfaction over the
move and stated that
the inclusion of four
Dalit ministers in the
Cabinet has sent out a
positive message about
the party and the state
government.
Expressing satisfac-
tion over inclusion of
four Dalit ministers in
the Cabinet Pilot said,
4 Dalit Ministers in-
cluded in the new cabi-
net. It is a message that
AICC, state government
and the party wants
representation for Dal-
its, backward and poor.
For a long time, there
was no Dalit represen-
tation in our govern-
ment, it is now been
made up for and they
have been included in
good numbers. —ANI

‘under the bridge’. In
fact, Sachin Pilot - the
leader of his faction -
strolled in the venue
and met all the to-be
ministers. But what
was more surprising
for the people there was
that Pilot went and
hugged Mahesh Joshi
and the two were seen
exchanging smiles and
talking to each other
like old friends, when
only a year back, the
two were in opposite
camps. Moreover, Ge-
hlot camp MLAs were
also seen giving their
utmost respect to Pilot
as they stood and greet-
ed Pilot with folded
palms as Pilot shook
hands with all of them
and cracked jokes.
The oath-taking cer-
emony to induct 15 new
ministers in Rajasthan
Assembly was held on
Sunday afternoon as
Rajasthan Governor
Kalraj Mishra adminis-
tered the oath to the
new ministers. Con-
gress leader Sachin Pi-
lot’s “loyalists” MLAs
are part of the cabinet
of Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot after the
reshuffle.
After the oath, Dr Ma-
hesh Joshi spoke to
First India and said that
he has never lobbied or
worked with the aim of
becoming a minister. “I
have never demanded
anything. Never asked
for a place in the cabi-
net. The high command
has not left any stone
unturned in giving me
responsibilities. I will
remain the same person
as I am today,” he said.
But perhaps, it was
CM Gehlot who gave
the most ‘prolific’
statement of the day.
Addressing the media
after the ceremony, Ge-
hlot said, “The prepa-
ration for the next

Meanwhile, the
next few hours,
after the new cabinet
was formed, were
passedextremelyanx-
iously by the ‘hope-
fuls’. This was so be-
cause they waited to
see the finl list for the
much sought after po-
sition‘

Gehlot has appointed
6 MLAs as his advisor
namely Dr Jitendra
Singh, Babulal Nagar,
Rajkumar Sharma,
Sanyam Lodha, Ram-
kesh Meena and Dan-
ish Abrar.
BSP MLAS
With the inclusion of
one of their ‘partners,’
Rajendra Gudha in the
cabinet, turncoat BSP
MLAs made a beeline
to meet CM Gehlot to
register their ‘discon-
tent’. The remaining
5 MLAs Wajib Ali,
Sandeep Yadav, Lakhan
Meena, Deepchand
Kheriya Joginder
Awana - reached CMR
and were visibly upset.
‘RESENTMENT’ STILL?
After Brijendra Ola registered his ‘discontent’ with Maken and Dotasra, late in
the evening, it was learnt that Kherwara MLA Dayaram Parmar too wrote a let-
ter to CM. In his letter Parmar said, “If we can be informed as to the qualities
and capabilities needed which have been kept in mind in including MLAs into
cabinet, then in future, we can also try to imbibe them.” Interestingly, earlier,
Johri Lal Meena had expressed displeasure over Jully being made Cabinet min
and levelled corruption charge against him saying, “We have no displeasure
with the party and the leader. We are angry with a particular person.” Mean-
while Jully reacted to Meena’s allegations, “Johrilalji’s statement have hurt
me.” Even Baseri MLA Khiladi Bairwa displayed discontent in the morning and
met Maken to apprise him of his greivance.
OLA ‘UNHAPPY’?
Aditi Nagar
Jaipur: Is Brijendra Ola unhappy with being
inducted in the Gehlot government as MoS?
Perhaps Ola is not too pleased with this develop-
ment as highly placed sources reveal that right
after the swearing-in ceremony, Ola reached
Marriot Hotel accompanying state incharge Ajay
Maken and PCC Chief Govind Singh Dotasra.
The trio held a long discussion behind closed
doors and it has come to light that Ola isn’t
pleased with the induction in the cabinet. Ola has
raised the point that a two-time MLA has been
appointed as cabinet minister while a four time
MLA is an MoS. Interestingly, Ola, who has been
part of Gehlot’s cabinet earlier too as MoS, is a
nominee of the Pilot camp.
Those who couldn’t be inducted in Cabinet,
will be adjusted in pol appointments: CM

MRUNMAYI BARVE,THE SECOND RUNNER UP OF FIRST MISS INDIATEEN 2021 HELD
AT NOVOTEL, GOA ON OCT 30’21, GETS CANDID ABOUT HER JOURNEY AND FUTURE
ASPIRATIONS WITH AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH CITY FIRST!
nother name for ele-
gance,MrunmayiBarve
was born to conquer the
stage. A girl who leaves
love, kindness and gen-
erosity in her wake, this
crowned queen is the
definition of hard work. From
wearing makeup that perfectly
accentuates her features to her
humdinger personality, Mrun-
mayi is all set to charm the
ramps. Here’s Mrunmayi in a
tête-à-tête with City First.
How did it feel to wear the
crown as one of the finalists of
First Miss Teen India?
It was a sheer symbol of all the
hard work paying off. Winning
the crown of second runner up
of First Miss Teen India is the
best accessory I have.
What was the most challeng-
ing part of the competition?
To put myself up on the stage to
narrate the story about abuse. I
was taught to wear my wounds
as my badges. And so I trans-
formed myself as the girl with a
sword, dancing proudly on the
poem about sexual abuse and
fighting with my fears.
How was your homecoming?
Homecoming for me was a jour-
ney of joyous moments. “There
is surely no greater joy than see-
ing the shimmer in your parents’
eyes.” And perhaps, the home-
coming was like a warm hug af-
ter the shivering cold nights.
What positive changes can
you bring forth with this
platform?
With the help of this platform,
I would encourage more peo-
ple to speak up about their trau-
mas and promote mental health
on a huge scale.
What are your academic goals?
A: My aim in life is to join the
Indian Foreign Services.

JAIPUR, MONDAY
NOVEMBER 22, 2021

reating diabetes
is an art, in addi-
tion to aiming at
controlling sugar
values prevent-
ing complications
now REVERSAL
OF DIABETES is a new
concept.
Reversing diabetes is a
term that usually refers to
a significant long-term
good sugar control in peo-
ple with type 2 diabetes.
People with type 2 diabetes
that are able to get their
HbA1c below 6 gm% with-
out taking diabetes medi-
cation are said to have re-
versed or resolved their
diabetes. Although there’s
no cure for type 2 diabetes,
however, it’s possible for
some people to reverse it.
Through diet changes and
weight loss, the patient
may be able to reach and
hold normal blood sugar
levels without medication.
The key to reversing dia-
betes seems to be weight
loss. Sometimes losing
enough weight could help
to live diabetes-free; espe-
cially if a patient had the
disease for a few years and
haven’t needed insulin.
With time and dedication,
type 2 diabetes can be re-
versed and the results can
be very rewarding, with
less tiredness and better
all-round health.
Research indicates that
effective ways to reverse
diabetes include:
 Low-carbohydrate diet
 Very low-calorie diets
 Exercise
 Bariatric surgery
 Fasting
In type 2 diabetes there
is insulin resistance as
compared to insulin defi-
ciency. Insulin resistance
is responsible for hyper-
glycemia. In a normal per-
son, insulin increases the
uptake of carbohydrates
in the liver, muscles, and
other target organs. In
obese person as a conse-
quence of high visceral
and subcutaneous fat dep-
osition, insulin does not
work efficiently at the tar-
get site to lower blood lev-
els of glucose. The key
point for reversal of diabe-
tes is to reduce this vis-
ceral and subcutaneous fat
by a low-calorie diet, exer-
cise, bariatric surgery,
fasting etc.
LOW-CARBOHYDRATE DIETS
Low-carbohydrate diets
are known for lowering
the amount of insulin the
body needs to produce, re-
sulting in less insulin re-
sistance. A study showed
that a low-carbohydrate
Mediterranean diet was
able to achieve significant
rates of remission in peo-
ple with type 2 diabetes.
High blood sugar levels
destroy the insulin-secret-
ing pancreatic beta cells
which further aggravate
hyperglycaemia.
VERY LOW-CALORIE DIET
Very-low-calorie diets
(VLCD) have been shown
to achieve significant
weight loss, reduce insulin
resistance and allow peo-
ple with type 2 diabetes to
come off their
diabetes medi-
cation.
A study
showed that an
8-week 800 kcal
per day diet was
able to achieve re-
mission from dia-
betes in nearly 65%
of patients with type 2
diabetes. The reversal of
diabetes appeared to be
correlated with signifi-
cant reductions in fat stor-
age within the liver and
pancreas. A VLCD is re-
garded as an extreme form
of diet and therefore
should be undertaken
with care.
This type of diet is ex-
treme. It means working
with a professional and be-
ing very controlled with
how many calories be eat-
en by the patient. But the
chance that it could send
into remission may give a
strong motivation to stick
to it. It’s important to get
started on a weight-loss
plan as soon as diagnosed.
EXERCISE
More physical activity is a
way to improve diabetes,
but it may be tough to lose
enough weight to go into
remission with workouts
alone. A modest, lower-
calorie diet plus a big step-
up in burning calories
could put on the path to
remission.
A study showed that
people aim for 10,000 steps
a day and at least 2 1/2
hours of moderate exer-
cise a week along with cut-
ting 500-750 calories a day
and following specific in-
sulin and medication rou-
tine saw more than half of
them reach near-normal
blood sugar without medi-
cation. It’s the weight loss
that really matters. Exer-
cise can help to get there
but expect to change the
diet as well.
BARIATRIC SURGERY
This type of surgery helps
to lose weight by changing
the stomach and digestive
system to lim-
it how much the patient
can eat. Aside from helping
to lose weight, it may help
reverse diabetes in other
ways, although scientists
don’t yet know exactly why
.
One theory is that it affects
the hormones in the gut to
help control blood glucose.
The efficacy of type 2 dia-
betes reversal depends on
the choice of procedure,
there is unilateral im-
provement in glycemia fol-
lowing the operation, and
bariatric surgery has been
found to be superior to in-
tensive type 2 diabetes
medical management. Re-
searchers estimate that
upwards of three-quarters
of people see their diabetes
reversed after bariatric
surgery. Gastric bypass
and gastric sleeve surgery
have better long-term re-
sults than gastric banding.
Bariatric surgery is gener-
ally an option only when
BMI is 35 or higher.
FASTING
Fasting can
be a practical
way to lose weight be-
cause it’s fairly straight-
forward, but it’s not a
mainstream treatment for
type 2 diabetes. A very
small study found that
therapeutic fasting with-
out food for a set amount
of time can help reverse
type 2 diabetes. Another
study showed that eating
very few calories (500-600)
2 days a week and a nor-
mal diet the other days
helped people with type 2
diabetes lose weight and
lower their blood sugar
levels.
WHAT DOESN’T WORK
When it comes to revers-
ing diabetes, there’s no
magic pill. If you see a
product that claims to
cure diabetes or replace
your prescribed diabetes
medication, beware. The
FDA cautions that many
illegally marketed things
are unproven and possibly
dangerous, including:
 Dietary supplement
 Over-the-counter
drugs
 Alternative medicines
 Homeopathic products
 Prescription drugs
Additional evidence has
become available in recent
years suggesting that dia-
betes reversal is a possible
alternative to consider in
place of traditional diabe-
tes treatment and manage-
ment.
Hence weight reduction
maintaining ideal BMI
are the key features of RE-
VERSAL OF DIABETES
coupled up with a high fi-
bre diet and regular physi-
cal activity

weekend could
be deemed a winning
one for debu-
tante Sharvari. While
one may recall her
from Kabir Khan’s
The Forgotten Army,
she has no qualms ad-
mitting that this Fri-

Bunty Aur Babli 2—
was the one she was
waiting for all her
life. “My parents
have booked out a
theatre,” says the ac-
tor as we sit down
with her for a chat at
Yash Raj studios. It
took going through a
month-long audition
process and “training
from casting agent
Shanoo Sharma” to
crack the part. “When
I met the director, I
had no idea it was for
Bunty Aur Babli 2.
Rani [Mukerji]
ma’am, the OG on set,
showed immense con-
fidence in me and
asked me to use my
