“…147 But Balwantrao too fell prey to court factionalism-in 1837, he was imprisoned on suspicion of playing a role in effecting Pratapsinha's loss of favour with the Company and deposition two years later on charges of sedition. 148 It was at one of several financial and professional nadirs that Malhar Ramrao Chitnis wrote bakhars about the deeds of the first four Chhatrapatis, the accomplishment for which the family is perhaps best known today. 149 Composed sometime between 1808 and 1812 and deemed of little value by James Grant Duff, the Company resident at Satara and author of A History of the Mahrattas (1826), these works became key sources of Maratha historical memory and, as part of the wider body of bakhar genre, objects of empiricist critique and analysis in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.…”

Scribes in early modern South Asia relied on their skill in writing to secure the support of powerful courtly patrons. The rapid expansion of emerging regional states in the eighteenth century created new opportunities to apply these skills to administration, land-holding, and politics. This article examines the changing professional identity of the Kayastha scribal household in eighteenth-century western India. I focus on the ascendancy of the Chitnis household of Satara in the context of the growth and diversification of Kayastha employment under the Maratha sovereign Shahu Bhonsle (1682–1749). By consolidating portfolios of titles, appointments, and rights to property, ambitious scribes and secretaries, as epitomised by the career of Govind Khanderao Chitnis (d. 1785), were able to pursue riskier and more lucrative political assignments and form networks of kinsmen and associates across Maratha governments. Yet greater scrutiny and competition for state largesse, not least from within the Chitnis household itself, forced members of later generations to adopt creative and sometimes risky strategies to defend their claims to property. This article explores how the profound dislocations of political transformation in eighteenth-century South Asia enabled distinctive modes of individual and collective self-fashioning amongst skilled, upwardly mobile groups.

“…A critical aspect is the relationship between pre-meal insulin and the carbohydrate content of meals. 46 , 47 If pre-meal insulin doses are fixed, that is, 8 IU short-acting insulin administered before breakfast and 2-h post-meal (pre-lunch) glucose increases less than ±2 mmol/L; the respective insulin dose effectively counterbalances the meal’s carbohydrates for that person. 48 , 49 Therefore, if the carbohydrate intake increases and the same insulin dose is given, it will not have the same effect.…”

The benefits of the newer antidiabetic agents available for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remain indisputable, but many patients will require insulin therapy in the disease course. Given the limited access to newer antidiabetic agents, insulin remains a standard treatment modality in T2DM in South Africa. Early, multifactorial intervention remains ideal, but glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol values remain above target in many countries. Barriers to achieving glucose control in South Africa include the healthcare provider’s being unfamiliar with the practicalities of insulin administration, initiation and titration. This article highlights these gaps and offers pragmatic solutions to overcome them.
