Abstract: Burden of Diabetes is increasing globally. In India it is affecting about 40 million people. High prevalence is attributed to a combination of genetic factors and environmental factors due to urbanization and industrialization. Untreated Diabetes can lead to many complications including foot complications. Prevalence of Diabetic foot ulcers is 3.6% in the clinical population. In about 3 – 5 % of cases ulcers lead to amputation resulting in lifelong disability and dependency. This study was done to emphasize the importance of education in care of feet among the diabetic patients. A sensitized patient will have less chances of developing foot complications. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on foot care among people diagnosed with diabetes...........

Abstract: Low birth weight is a significant public health problem. Every year, about 16% of infants are born with a birth weight less than 2,500 gms, with 95% from the developing countries (1). Micronutrient supplementation of Ferrous sulphate and Folic acid for all pregnant women attending antenatal care in Zambia's healthcare facilities is being practised without estimating their serum concentrations. Available information states that excessive Iron stores are associated with higher risk of metabolic disorders such as hypertension, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease (2-5). There might be a need for supplementation of other micronutrients in our setting apart from the ones currently being given. Based on current evidence, it is essential to determine the levels of micronutrients..........
