All diabetics irrespective of other treatment require some control of their eating and exercise patterns
Dibetics must watch their
- total caloric intake
-types of nutrients and eating schedule
50% of patients may require only diet Another 25% would need to augment their natural insulin with drugs
while the remainder will need insulin
Diet recommendations include
- discouraging fats
encouraging complex carbohydrate and fibre
The recommended diabetic diet except in a few respects is now similar to the normal healthy diet that everyone should eat. i.e regular meals, low in fats, low simple sugars, low in sodium and high in complex carbohydrate (starch) and fibre

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

New Drug Discovery and Development .....NEHA GUPTA
The "New Drug Discovery and Development" process involves the identification, design, testing, and manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compounds with the aim of introducing new and improved treatments for various medical conditions. This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.
CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

35. Fluid therapy
• Adequate tissue perfusion is necessary insulin
action
• Normal saline is fluid of choice for initial
rehydration
– 1 litre in first hour then reduced progressively to 0.5
L/ 4 hours (4 to 6 litres in 24 hours)
• When BSL reaches 300 mg% fluid should be
changed to 5 % dextrose with concurrent insulin
36. Insulin in DKA
• Regular/ short acting insulin IV treatment of
choice
• Loading dose = 0.1-0.2 U/kg IV bolus
• Then 0.1 U /kg/hr IV by continuous infusion
• Rate doubled if no significant fall in BSL in 2 hr
• 2-3 U/hr after BSL reaches 300mg%
• If patient becomes fully conscious encouraged
to take oral food & SC insulin started
37. Potassium replacement

bottle of normal saline
• Sr K+ < 3.3 mEq/L : 20 -30 mEq/hr
38. Bicarbonates & phosphates
• Bicarbonates
– If blood pH > 7.1 no need of sodium bicarbonate
– In presence of severe acidosis 50 mEq of sodium
bicarbonate added to IV fluid
• Phosphates
– Non availability of ideal preparation
– Replacement not very essential unless < 1 mEq/L
– potassium phosphate 5-10 m mol/hr
