 While getting candid about her bond with the team, Riddhi talked about her co-actor Vipul Gupta, and how he was a constant guide and support for her throughout this journey. She expressed, “I think Vipul just like his character is a very strong-willed, empathetic, and a soft person. In the series, he plays ACP Ashutosh, a mentor who is very calm and constantly works to improve himself and the people around him. Working with him was a wonderful experience because he is much more senior but he never made me feel like a subject of comparison. He was always there to teach and support us, we used to do our lines together before the scenes and have our lunch or dinner together whenever possible. He was available to discuss, share, and put his input into the scenes to create a better version.”

 Adding to this she further shared her experience of working with Amazon miniTV and Friday Storytellers. “My experience with Friday Storytellers was amazing and so was with Amazon miniTV. Specifically when it came to promotional activities, getting affiliated with Amazon miniTV was great, as I liked the way they have taken up their promotional campaign, especially in terms of getting hacked. When it comes to Friday storytellers, I was looking forward to working with them. As an actor, you always have a list of people you admire and want to collaborate with and they were definitely on my list. When I got to know that I had to audition for a show for them, I was very excited. They always come up with different types of content that are relatable, educational, and at the same time very inspiring. Our show talks about crime, ranging from teenage bullying, and drugs to terrorism and bank scams, along with our finale which is about national security,” she shared.

 Directed by Parmeet Sethi, Hack Crimes Online is currently streaming exclusively on Amazon miniTV available on Amazon’s shopping app, on Fire TV, and on Play Store.

Post Market commentary -Sheersham Gupta, Director and Senior Technical Analyst at Rupeezy

It was a volatile day for the market today, and Nifty again saw sharp selling from the resistance level of 19825. The market recovered after regaining all the losses aided by the IT and auto sectors rally. The European markets opened higher, indicating that it digested yesterday’s Fed Minutes of “Wait and Watch Policy” for further rate hikes, and the Indian markets followed suit. India Vix’s decline also indicates that the cloud of uncertainty may soon be over. The selling in the banking and financial sector was more severe. But the Bank nifty index found support at the 200 DMA, saving the index from landing into the bearish territory, although the crucial support of 43500 was broken. The banking index needs to cross this level, or else it may see further selling till the next support, which is at 42850

Understanding Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: A Comprehensive Guide for Parents

Diabetes in children known as Type 1 diabetes Mellitus, predominantly affects children and young adults aged between 4 and 14 years. It’s a chronic condition that can be challenging to manage. Still, with early detection and the correct lifestyle adjustments, it can be effectively controlled says Dr. Tejasvi Sheshadri, Consultant – Paediatric Endocrinology of SPARSH Hospital, Bangalore.

Dr. Tejasvi Sheshadri - Consultant in Paediatric Endocrinology

 In today’s fast-paced world with screen time taking dominance, children often miss out on outdoor activities, leading to minimal physical activity. This lack of movement, in addition to the need for strict diet control and medication, can make life difficult for children with diabetes and their parents. However, with patience, care, and constant monitoring, these challenges can be overcome.

 Here are some simple ways to manage Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus:

 #Balanced Diet: The cornerstone of managing Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is a balanced diet. Keeping a close eye on carbohydrate consumption and choosing complex carbohydrates like whole grains over simple sugars is vital. A diverse diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats is essential. Regular meal timing and portion control can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

 #Regular Exercise: Despite the busy schedules, it’s important for children to engage in regular physical activity. Activities like walking, swimming, or cycling can be both fun and beneficial. Regular exercise improves insulin sensitivity and aids in better blood sugar control. Consult a healthcare professional to determine the best exercise routine for your child.

 #Blood Sugar Monitoring: Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is a must. This data can guide insulin dosage and lifestyle choices, ensuring optimal control of the child’s condition.

 #Stress Management: Dealing with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus can be stressful for children due to the lifestyle restrictions involved. Learning to manage this stress through techniques like mindfulness, yoga, and meditation can be helpful. Spending quality time with friends and family can also contribute to their overall well-being.

 #Routine check-ups: Regular visits to healthcare providers are crucial for tracking the progress of the condition, assessing potential complications, and adjusting treatment plans as needed. Adherence to prescribed medications and lifestyle changes is key for long-term health.

Managing Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is a commitment, but with a balanced approach to diet, regular exercise, and stress management, it’s entirely possible for children to lead a fulfilling life. Knowledge is power, and armed with the right information, children with Type 1 diabetes can not only cope but thrive, says Dr. Tejasvi.
