Amitabh bachchan undergoes diabetes tests

Hats off to AB for the guts to undergo diabetes screening tests while he's in the U.K.It should prompt the Govt.of India to not only encourage but also to help the medical fraternity in India to organize such sreening camps.As of now it is the pharma industry with a portfolio of anti-diabetes drugs who help the few motivated doctors to conduct such free camps.With diabetes spreading like wildfire,especially in India,the Govt.should launch a country-wide campaign,using the media as a means to create a real need to check himself or herself (especially those with a positive family history) for evidence of pre-diabetes or frank diabetes!As a starting point,Hyderabad,the capital of Andhra pradesh should be the target as fresh evidence is emerging that this city has the highest numbers vis-a-vis,of diabetics.The fear barrier that "i may be diagnosed as having diabetes"is a real hurdle,and AB has done the right thing in puncturing that!
