Book review :
This book is a collection of inspiring and motivating stories of how Insulin changed lives in India. Dr. V. Mohan has shared the stories in a sagacious yet thrilling way that one cannot keep the book down.
He has shared with all references about how insulin was discovered and what were the factors that made insulin a great boon to the patients suffering from type - 1 diabetes. His father, Prof. M. Viswanathan, considered as " Father of Diabetology" in India had a great impact on him. His father's guidance and his true dedication to help and save mankind especially kids suffering from type -1 diabetes is all very well depicted in this book.
This book shares stories of many persons who were suffering from diabetes but after treatment with insulin got recovered. Many of these persons took a pledge to help others suffering the same problem. Many know the benefit of insulin but many due to lack of money or family support lag behind emotionally and financially. Such persons can seek help in his diabetes healthcare and charity hospital.
In his book, Dr. Mohan points to the "huge ethical and moral aspects " when treating people with diabetes. He wants Banting proclamation that "insulin belongs to the world" come true in this century . He wishes all should be given access to this vital therapy and people should not suffer because of its high cost and less affordability.
I am truly inspired by his writing style and the way he unravels the emotions behind all the stories shared.
Highly recommended!
