Sunil Kumar Gupta served as a jailer at Tihar Jail, one of India's most notorious prisons, from 1981 until his retirement in 2016. Born into a modest background, Gupta left a stable job at the Indian Railways to pursue his dream of becoming a prison officer, joining Tihar Jail as an assistant superintendent. During his tenure, Gupta was involved in numerous high-profile cases, witnessing the execution of several inmates including the notorious Ranga and Billa, and Afzal Guru, involved in the 2001 Indian Parliament attack. His experiences and observations led him to significant contributions in prison reform; he played a key role in drafting the Delhi Prison Act and Manual in 1988, established Tihar's first legal aid cell, and initiated special court sessions within the prison to expedite minor cases. Post-retirement, Gupta transitioned into law, practicing at the Supreme Court of India and the Delhi High Court. His memoir, "Black Warrant: Confessions of a Tihar Jailer," co-authored with journalist Sunetra Choudhury, became the basis for a Netflix series, shedding light on the inner workings of India's prison system. Gupta's career not only highlighted the systemic issues within Indian prisons but also his commitment to reform and humane treatment of inmates.

In this gut-wrenching episode, meet Sunil Gupta, real life Tihar Jailer and Author of ‘Black Warrant: Confessions of a Tihar Jailer.' He shares all his experiences about the brutal and gritty world of the infamous Indian prison that inspired a Netflix series. Sunil describes the goings-on at Tihar Jail, and addresses the rumours of sexual assault and things being smuggled in. Witness to high-profile convicts like Afzal Guru, Manu Sharma, Charles Sobhraj, Maqbool Bhat, he gives an insider's perspective on what these criminals were like. Also witness to all the hangings at Tihar Jail, he reveals surprising facts about these high-profile convicts that highlights their humanity. He talks about reforming the prison system by introducing free legal aid for prisoners which went on to become a fundamental right in India. Sunil recounts how Tihar Jail was the first prison to begin video conferencing between the court and prisoners, among many other commendable reforms. When asked about his take on executions, he says he is against ‘faasi' as in his opinion, only the poor are hanged. The rich get away with a lot. He recalls how the staff at Tihar Jail handled Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal's imprisonment, when the entire jail premises were surrounded by protestors. A jailer with a law degree, he asserts that he is not afraid of any backlash because he is only telling the truth.

The alarming trend shows that every 5th or 6th pregnant woman in India is diagnosed with diabetes, highlighting an urgent need for interventions and enhanced medical treatments. Approximately 24% of adults (Above 18yrs age) in India are affected by dysglycemia (Diabetes & Prediabetes) which, considering the adult population exceeding 90 crores, this indirectly suggests that nearly every 4th & 5th woman of child bearing potential is likely to be having some from of dysglycemia, which itself is a risk factor for Gestational & Pre-gestational diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes during pregnancy can lead to severe complications, including miscarriage, larger fetal size, and an increased likelihood of the child developing diabetes and obesity in their future life. Notably, the first 6-8 weeks of pregnancy are crucial, as the baby's all organs like brain, heart, lungs GI tracts, limbs etc. get fully formed by this time. Instability in a mother's blood sugar levels during this period can lead to potential organ defects. While infants may appear healthy at birth, they could face health challenges later due to uncontrolled blood glucose of gestation.

With nearly 40 years of medical experience, I often encounter questions about sugar consumption. My consistent advice is to avoid sweets and focus on managing blood sugar levels, as poor glycemic control can weaken the overall immune system and may trigger infections & other chronic complications. Basal bolus therapy is the best insulin regimen, specially for type 1DM. It involves taking prandial insulin three times daily with meals and administering basal insulin once or twice daily, depending on individual needs. The dose is typically calculated based on body weight and blood glucose readings. Using Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) helps track blood sugar fluctuations. Uncontrolled blood sugar can lead to serious complications affecting various organs, including the eyes, kidneys, heart, brain and nerves. Diabetic neuropathy, often referred to as "dry skin syndrome," can cause significant discomfort and pain, including symptoms like burning feet numbness, tingling, insensitive feet etc. Managing blood sugar is crucial in preventing neuropathy. Deficiencies of vitamins like D3 and B12 may experience symptoms of sensory neuropathy. Medications like pregabalin or gabapentin if prescribed by certified registered practitioner can provide relief for neuropathic pain.

One should know that type 2 DM is not only caused by beta cell dysfunction of pancreas. There are eight different organs of body involved in the pathophysiology of T2 DM. 1. Beta cells of pancreas, that they don't produce enough insulin. 2. Alpha cells of pancreas produce disproportionately high glucagon as there is poor suppression of glucagon in the post meal phase, causing post prandial hyperglycemia. 3. Liver produces extra glucose causing high fasting blood glucose. 4. Skeletal muscles have poor uptake of glucose, which increases blood glucose. 5. Adipose tissue produces higher fatty acid. 6. Incretin hormone from intestine also show dysregulation (GLPl & GIP) 7. Kidney increase glucose reabsorption from proximal convoluted tubules 8. Brains satiety centers show dysregulation. 9. Thus, while treating a case of T2 DM, we should address all Eight Arms of, So called “Ominous Octet”.

This podcast was being broadcasted live from the venue Hotel of Hello Diabetes Academia 2024 at Ramdaspeth, Nagpur featuring insights from Dr. V. Mohan (Padma Shri), Dr. Shashank Joshi (Padma Shri), Dr. Vijay Vishwanathan, and Dr. Sunil Gupta. Diabetes management is a costly endeavor, and the financial burden increases significantly with complications affecting vital organs like the kidneys, heart, brain, liver, and nerves. These complications can also place a heavy strain on families and may lead to severe outcomes, including death. Therefore, Dr. Vijay Vishwanathan emphasized the importance of focusing on prevention rather than solely addressing complications. This involves both primary prevention to avert the onset of diabetes and secondary prevention to manage complications if diabetes is already present. Dr. V. Mohan highlighted that while medicine contributes only 10% to diabetes management, education and awareness play a crucial role, accounting for 80-90%. Effective management involves adhering to the ABC mantras—HbA1c, Blood Pressure, and Cholesterol—and maintaining discipline through diet, exercise, and lifestyle adjustments. Dr. Shashank Joshi advocated for a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and mindful eating, to prevent and manage diabetes. He also points out the importance of addressing asymptomatic complications and managing sugar cravings through consistent lifestyle changes. Dr. Sunil Gupta emphasized upon getting connected to people at large through such education programs. “People who knows the most... Live longest” he added the quote of Prof. Elliott Joslin who is known as the father of Diabetes in the World. Speaker: Dr. V.

Though, prevalence of diabetes is almost similar in two genders, women with past history of gestational diabetes mellitus, women with post –partum weight gain, post menopausal women etc. have higher risk of developing diabetes, obesity and other cardiovascular complications. Thus, women with diabetes should practice healthy eating habits, should do regular blood glucose monitoring, proper monitoring of other target organs and should regular practice exercise. Working women can carry healthy dry snacks like nuts, makhana, sprouts etc. in place of unhealthy and fried snacks.

People at large know, that alcohol causes liver damage and few are also aware of having liver injury due to viral infection (Hepatitis / Jaundice). But, very few people know that 50 to 70% of People with Type 2 Diabetes can develop fatty liver due to uncontrolled blood glucose and / or obesity.

Sitting is a new Tobacco. If you are sitting for a long time, you are likely to enter into a high risk zone of developing diabetes & other co-morbid diseases. So try to be physically active & if you are in a sitting job, try to get-up and move after every 1 hour.

As recently as three years ago Spencer Johnson was working as a greenskeeper in Australia, supplementing his income as he recovered from a nightmare spell with injuries. Doctors had doubts over whether he would even be able to run again. Fast forward to the present day and he has just been called up for Australia's T20 matches against South Africa, with a place at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup still a possibility should a compatriot sustain an injury.

Alison Mitchell is joined by Clint Wheeldon and Sunil Gupta to reflect on an exhilarating Ashes series across both the men's and women's game, with more thrills still to come. England looked down and out in the women's multi-format series after losing the one-off Test at Trent Bridge, but they have rallied and inflicted three consecutive defeats on the reigning world champions Australia. One win from the remaining two one-day internationals would be enough for the tourists to retain the urn, but England have the momentum. Meanwhile, the men's Test series is delicately poised. A win for the hosts at Old Trafford would level the scores at 2-2 going into the fifth and final match at the Oval, but similarly to their female counterparts, Australia only need to draw the series to ensure that they won't be relinquishing the Ashes. The team give their predictions on which way it will go. Plus, Teja Nidamanuru joins us after helping the Netherlands qualify for their first 50-over World Cup in 12 years. The occasion will mean more than most for the middle-order batter as the tournament is being hosted in the country of his birth, India.

Following crunch talks in the United Arab Emirates, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Najam Sethi tells Alison Mitchell that there is still hope of holding the Asia Cup in Pakistan.

Pakistan are due to host the tournament in September, but last year the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, Jay Shah said that it would need to be held in a neutral venue, stating “we can't go there and they can't come here.” Sethi says he has presented a hybrid model to Asian Cricket Council members, which guarantees that India would not need to play any matches in Pakistan with even the final being played in a neutral venue. Sethi says that if an agreement cannot be reached there is “a very distinct possibility” that Pakistan's government will prevent the national team from travelling to India for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in October. Sethi, who is currently chairman on an interim basis, says he expects to continue in the role for a three-year term and one of his plans is to launch a women's league.
