Urgent Advice for my diabetic brother from India
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
Dear Friends,

Warm Greetings from India. I am mailing you today to ask for your valuable advice for my brother Umang Binani, 26 years old, suferring from Type 1 Diabetes for the past 20 years. He is currently in a very bad shape suffering from multiple problems which include - catherization, nerve(diabetes neuropathy) and kidney disorder, 98% blindness among a list of other complications. He is currently on medication and insulin( 5 times a day)

Inspite of the best treatment he receives here in India it is not helping and his condition is in a pathetic state and deteriorating.

I look forward to your advice on recommending hospitals/speciality centres in US where there might be some kind of treatment available which will improve his condition even slightly as we fear we may lose him soon.
I would also appreciate if you could forward me the email addresses of doctors who specialise in Diabetes and probably you consult in US/Europe so that I can forward his summarized case to them and ask for their recommendation if there is any treatment available in US or elsewhere.

Looking forward to your speedy reply. My brother needs your advice and prayers.
I can be contacted at harsh.binani@gmail.com
