It is unfortunate that he passed away on July 12, 1998, when the first edition of this textbook was in its initial stages of preparation. It took us a great deal of time to pick the threads of editorial process where Prof Ahuja had left them and ultimately put the first edition together. Prof Ahuja was Head of the Departments of Medicine and Endocrinology at the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences for several decades. He combined the qualities of a compassionate physician, an inspiring teacher and an inquisitive researcher—a combination difficult to find in modern times. He was a prolific writer and edited a highly popular series of review books entitled “Progress in Medicine”. In the areas of diabetology, his research work covered epidemiology, ketosis resistant diabetes in young, cardiovascular complications, nutrition and patient education. He has left his distinctive stamp in these fields. Prof Ahuja was one of the founders of Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India and the major working force behind this society’s progress. He founded and edited the ‘International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries’ from 1980 onwards, until the time of his collaboration in 1991 with other editors. This textbook continues to bear the stamp of his excellence. We, the editors of this textbook owe a great deal of gratitude to our pioneering colleague, Prof Ahuja and pay him a respectful tribute. DEDICATION RSSDI Textbook of Diabetes Mellitus Third Edition (1923 to 2010) Prof BB Tripathy was a doyen among physicians and diabetologists. He was an outstanding researcher and an astute clinician who produced some of the best epidemiological research at a time when the field of epidemiology was in its nascent stage in India. His work was highly signi ficant in describing the clinical features of an atypical form of ketosis-resistant diabetes which was associated with malnutrition. Prof Tripathy organized a landmark international workshop “Diabetes peculiar to the Tropics” in 1995 at Cuttack. His knowledge was extensive and encompassed the fields of medicine, biochemistry, pharmaco logy, nutrition and epidemiology. He was Editor-in-Chief of RSSDI Textbook of Diabetes, First and Second editions. He was the Founder Vice President of the Research Society for Study of Diabetes in India (RSSDI) and was connected with this organization till his demise as an Executive Patron. RSSDI is heavily indebted to Prof Tripathy for his contributions and inspiring leadership.
