The WHO has released its first global guideline for diabetes in pregnancy, recommending metformin for women with type 2 diabetes and GDM, alongside lifestyle measures, insulin pathways, and structured monitoring.

Diabetes is often a silent killer, as many patients have very high sugar levels without symptoms. Diabetologist Dr Vyankatesh Shivane warned that warning signs like frequent night urination, lightheadedness, breathlessness, burning feet, leg cramps, skin redness, vision disturbances, swelling, night sweating and bad dreams should never be ignored and require urgent medical attention.
Dr Ritika Jindal explained that primary (milk) teeth have thinner enamel and larger pulp chambers, so cavities progress rapidly. Neglecting decay in these early teeth can lead to compromised chewing, malocclusion, and disturbed permanent-tooth eruption. Timely intervention preserves both dental and craniofacial development- well beyond the "baby-teeth" phase.
