Raviraj Prakashabhai Thakrar is a member of Juvenile Diabetic Foundation, 
Rajkot; like other Rajkot based Insulin Dependent Diabetic Children who take 
Insulin by Daily Injections. He is a member of more than 138 Diabetic yahoo 
Group consisting more than 17,000 Diabetic/Scientists/Researches/Heads of 
Diabetes Research Centers of their Countries all over the world including U.K., 
U.S.A. & Egypt. He; through internet; regularly receives latest research papers 
by which; he knows very well that till date; Diabetes Type – 1 (Insulin 
Dependant) is not curable; only controllable. These entire diabetic have to 
compulsorily inject their daily dose of Insulin regularly. By injecting insulin 
in their body daily; they are not going to be free of this disease; they can 
only regulate their blood Glucose Level for maximum 24 hours only. There is no 
medicine, which can cure such type of diabetic all over the world. No O.H.A. 
(Oral Hypoglycemic Agent), no medicine, which can be swallowed by mouth, is 
effective in this disease. Vice President, American Diabetes Association 
certifies this fact and an e-mail print out is exists with father of the 
diabetic child. In conclusion, we can say that “Diabetes Type 1 is not curable; 
only controllable”; till date. 

     We must praise the courage of the diabetic child for the fact that before 
competiting all the Championships on various days of Competitions; he took his 
regular dosage of Insulin by injection himself & used his Pneumatic Air Rifle 
for constantly 1 hour 15 minutes in single standing position as per the 
National Rules & won the Gold, Silver & Bronze Medals in “.177 Open Sight Air 
Rifle Sub Junior Men Individual”. 

     The diabetic child, as advised by his doctor, records himself his Urine 
Blood Sugar through Ketodiastic daily 3 to 5 times. He takes his daily dosage 
of Insulin (20 Units a day) by Injection at 12:50 p.m. daily. 

     There is a humble appeal of father of the diabetic child, Shri Prakashbhai 
Thakrar, to all of you to send any information related to remedy of Type 1 
diabetes by which he either can stop daily injections or reduce the daily 
dosage of Insulin to his son.
