It is estimated that there occurs a death due to diabetes every ten seconds. The unawareness among common man about the harmful effects of diabetes such as heart attacks, blindness, kidney damage, leg ulcers, loss of sexual ability, etc has been considered as the root cause for these devastating complications of diabetes. The dedicated diabetes multidisciplinary team from Jothydev's Diabetes Research Centre, a venture of P.Kesavadev Trust as part of their social responsibility always finds happiness in investing their time and efforts to educate the public, patients and their caregivers on methods to tackle this silent killer. The Trust also organizes awareness programs in schools and colleges to let the budding brains know about lifestyle illnesses and to prevent the burden of diabetes in the next generation.

P.Kesavadev Trust organizes geriatric programs that incorporate CMEs, seminars, medical camps etc, to educate the society about the ramifications of diabetes and to focus on the health care of the elderly.

A travelogue towards the life of iconic personalities is always fascinating and inspiring. Such a wonderful person who touched the lives of many is the well-known writer and the social reformer P.Kesavadev. "Dev's World" is a sincere attempt from P. Kesavadev Trust to let the world know Kesavadev as a person, a family man, a writer, a social reformer, a revolutionist and an orator. The priceless records of the writer are preserved in both conventional and digitalized forms in Dev's World situated at Mudavanmugal, Thiruvananthapuram.

Research is sometimes defined as the distance between an idea and its realization. Having diverse stocks in one's portfolio will always enhance the outcomes. With these elements wavering in the curious brains of many, the Trust had framed its Research Wing at Jothydev's Diabetes Research Centre (JDC). Since 1997, the Research Centre has been in the forefront implementing novel ideologies in diabetes care. Headed by Dr. Jothydev Kesavadev, the Research wing has many published original research works to its credit including the use of telemedicine to prevent the costly complications of diabetes, use of technologies in diabetes etc. The focus of all the researches is to reduce the overall cost of diabetes care, efficient use of technology in delivering education, pioneering projects in telemedicine, insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring. The Institutional Ethics Committee of JDC safeguards the rights of patients participating in clinical trials at the centre.

Successful management of diabetes requires the dedicated efforts of the healthcare team, continuous learning and knowledge updating by professionals etc. Jothydev's Professional Education Forum (JPEF) was established with the motto of imparting basic and advanced knowledge in diabetes at its best for professionals in diabetes management and care. Since its formation in 2013, JPEF has been organizing annual conventions for health care professionals to share their ideologies, grasp novel concepts, meet pioneers in the field, and innovate new ventures and to get motivated.

"Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow."

In addition to annual global diabetes conventions, JPEF organizes Mini JPEF CMEs for doctors every month which pave the way for the healthcare professionals to get exposed to the various domains in diabetes management and care. In CMEs, eminent faculty from diabetes and related fields deliver lectures on current trends in diabetes treatment and care. There will also be Case study discussions and Panel discussions on CMEs which will be beneficial to the participants.
