Bro, try icici pocket app and try adding money through your card or bank. They give you a virtual card which can be used on pretty much every website and apps to purchase things. You can also use Airtel Payment bank but i wouldn't recommend that due to its shitty service and unwritten rules or just use PayPal.
My brother u r in India don't u worry about Corona anymore,, stay healthy ,,, life is more important ,,, I m 100percent sure that u will meet ur family very soon
Hey! I am from india and i am diabetic since February 2009 (when i was 8 years old ) and ngl it's been a tough journey and ik it's kind obvious with T1D paitents and 2-3 years ago i was in a very bad state my doctor told me if I don't change my lifestyle then i would only live upto the age of 21-22 ( cause i was too carefree for 1 year eating anything and skipping my insulin dosage cause i had some personal problems so i just didn't give 2 sh*ts abt anything at that time ) i started having hair loss for a while and my both of my kidneys almost gave up and my HBA1C was 14.75 at that time but when the doctor stated that it bought fear just listening to that which made me realise few things and self aware of my state and motivation to not give up on anything and now my Hba1c stays around 6.8- 7.6 so whatever it is i hope you also stay fit for the rest of your life and good luck for your future endeavours. Sorry for blabbering all of this, it's just i thought that it will make some realise something so that they don't go through the same thing as i did :)

Tip : *if you are an airtel user. Get yourself an online debit card (mastercard). Available on the airtel thanks app. You can transfer money from your bank in the US to the airtel debit online card through online transaction.
You've got this...!! Definitely try doing some Yoga. Do check out Kassandra Yoga for beginners. Also if you can meditate early morning.

Stay safe and take care, Eric. It could be hard. But if you need help, don't hesitate to ask. In the meantime, discover your inner-self using meditation. Sometimes it will take you to your favorite moments in your past. Admire them, love them, live your childhood again, love your family, and enjoy the pollution-free life. Namaste!
Plz free that bird... I hope... We should understand the meaning of freedom after corona 😞😐

Erik... Plant name calotropis gigantic... Will help you to produce insulin in blood... What you need to do is wear the leaf of the plant under you feet (sole) like slipper tie it with piece of cloth. Wear it for 2hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening wear fresh leaves leaf should cover your sole if not then atleast depression part of your feet should be covered ... Veins side facing your feet sole... It will be of great help to you. If possible please walk for 1 hr morning and evening wearing the leaf.. It should help.. Try for few days.. See if it works .. You have to take your medicine along though..

No, the govt. did not ask anyone to leave India. It had cancelled the Visas for anyone yet to enter India and is collaborating with foreign governments in evacuating their nationals IF and ONLY IF they want to leave. Anyone who was already here before the restrictions were imposed can stay. If fact, their Visas have all been extended till May 3rd.

Take care gentleman.
Use ..Google pay app... For payments or PayPal... Many shop vendors use Google pay these days ...you just need the debit card number and your mobile linked with it.

Vial of 10ML Humalog is 1,500 rupees using 1mg. The “transparent” price of insulin can be very difficult. Canada would be closer to 2,500 rupees. United States that same 10ML could be free or 24,000 rupees because we have a national issue around insulin pricing.

You should definitely practice yoga asana called mandukasana for diabetes. Google it. Its specifically for diabetes. Do it regularly on empty stomach bro.
you're a sweetie. so....did you get insulin and what you need to manage your diabetes? i am from the usa and also in banglaore. please let me know and let's see how we can help if you still need help.
Quick way to get money for you is find some one with a international account transfer money to him get it from him in cash or to your hosts account. In Bangalore a IT professional who went abroad will be your best bet they would have set up a temporary system for situation like yours. Money transfer is best option ask someone to put money from home take the code or recipient withdraw from a local branch
