Rapid growth of residential colonies around the campus of the CSIR-National Geophysical research Institute (NGRI), Hyderabad during the last two decades has resulted in either disappearance or drastic reduction in size of open space and ponds for groundwater recharging. Withdrawal of groundwater for domestic uses has increased several fold causing continuous lowering of the water table in and around the campus. Due to this changed scenario, availability of groundwater to meet the requirement of CSIR-NGRI is drastically reduced. This communication presents the results of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) carried out in the CSIR-NGRI premises to locate potential groundwater resources as well as choose suitable sites for artificial recharging of aquifer. Groundwater potential zone identified by ERT is verified at one site by drilling a bore well.

Over the time due to progressive nature of diabetes, proactive intensification of the existing insulin therapy becomes imminent as it minimizes patients’ exposure to chronic hypo/hyperglycaemia and reduces weight gain while achieving individualized glycaemic targets. This review focuses on the strength of evidence behind various options for intensification, primarily the insulins as also the GLP-1 analogues. The recommendations presented here are meant to serve as a guide for the physician managing type 2 diabetes patients requiring insulin intensification upon failing of basal insulin therapy. © 2017 Diabetes India
