Sri Lanka’s most distinguished leader, the late President Ranasinghe Premadasa, was born in 1924 in Colombo. It is not an easy task to condense the life of Hon. Premadasa, who played a huge role in the development of the nation, into such a short article. Image Source : wikimedia Hon.

Understanding Insulin Resistance – By Dr Harold Gunatillake “Commemorating Sri Lankans worldwide. Compiled and presented by Dr. Harold Gunatillake.” Dear audience, I’d like to express my gratitude for your regular viewership of my channel. The consistent growth in the number of subscribers is genuinely commendable. Today’s discussion centres on a compelling subject that will engage you and our esteemed medical colleagues. Specifically, our focus will be on diabetes and the need to revolutionise its management, shedding light on the current practices. First, why not consider renaming type 2 diabetes as ‘Insulin Resistance Disease’? This terminology would aptly reflect the essence of the condition. Unfortunately, we cannot proceed because there are other clinical conditions in which insulin resistance is causative. Insulin resistance is a clinical condition shared by many diseases besides type 2 diabetes (T2DM), such as obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

TWO RELIGIONS AND A ROYAL KINGDOM – THE GLORY THAT WAS ANGKOR – By Bernard VanCuylenburg PROLOGUE. Dr.Henri Mouhot the French Naturalist was doing what he loved best, searching for new species of flora in a leafy green forest which was his passion. Pressing even deeper into a green kingdom glinting with birds of every variety, and flora and fauna of every description, tropical heat notwithstanding, he set to work with a passion. Suddenly, something in the forest beyond caught his eye. Amid the thickets he and his workers spotted a massive structure that resembled what looked like a temple and colossal stone steps thrown down by trees which had grow between the crevices, and reached a terrace the form of which was impossible to make out. As a guide cleared a path with his machete, they came across another colossal structure half buried in the density of ...
