His speech on Pancreatic Islet Transplantation helping the diabetic patients was timely given the disease's increasing run into us humans. Very lucidly he told his audience that this practice of Islet transformation which are insulin producing cells is far better than insulin injection. Post transplantation many people have been found to enjoy normal life. This technique is not yet available in India, but once started will benefit the diabetic capitals. Many thanks to him for the visit.
