K.Coops said… - Well I worked in Shiga Prefecture when I was with Nova. I had no idea they shut down! Wow. Big news to me! Before that I went to a college in kyoto then I lived in Saitama Prefecture, just outside of Tokyo awhile later.
When I was in Saitama, I joined a diabetes group. They were so shocked to see a gaijin there! But it was interesting to meet Japanese kids with type 1. It was a great experience. One of my favourite artists is Japanese and he went blind from diabetes complications so when I was there, I managed to meet him.
So when you show kids your pump, do they know about tounyoubyou (diabetes)? I remember when I was there (a few years back now), a lot of kids didn't really know about type 1, only type 2.

- Hey Renee,
I also spend quite a lot of time in Japan. What school are you teaching with? At one time, I was with No Vacation NOVA!
How's the diabetes management?

- I often have International students stay with me from Japan. The most interesting one was one named Asaka from Osaka. She was a 72 year old artist who came to ASU in Tempe, AZ to study English as a 2nd language. We shared diet secrets for blood pressue control.I know she had a tough time here with the processed foods. It created a hard problem for her. But she managed fairly well. What do you do in Japan?? I just got to begin using the Minimed real time glucose sensor. I am finding it great. I am glad to get started with it. Thanks Patricia or Patty

- hi Renee, As a new resident of Japan (moved here from Canada about a month ago) I'd like to exchange info with diabetics who live in Japan. Locating supplies, medical care, English-speaking support groups, etc. At this point I have more questions than answers but I'm learning my way around and would be happy to pass along what I know.
This site came to my attention when I was googling Japan and diabetes. TIA for your reply.

- Hey Renee, thanks for the add.
Don't worry too much about whether or not a single A1C reading will be better. If getting the pump has made your life even a little easier, it was the right thing for you to do.

Doris Ann Dickerson said… - Renee, I can't say I done that well a few weeks back!!!! Wish I could though it was at 8.1!!!! The way I have been able to keep it down before though was with the pump, exercise, and diet. Let's just say it's been really hot this summer here in TN and I haven't gotten out of the house at all this summer!!! HA!

What Our Kids Are Thinking
I just read a post by Andreina, and it reminded me of when my daughter was young and I also worried that she would develop diabetes. There were some funny moments!
