Diabetes type 1

Just found out my mom back home has this has been hospitalized for the past 8 days. I'm so shock because she was always so health conscious. They are threatening to amputate her toe. How could she prevent this? Any health books you can recommend? I'm also worried about my health too.

    Well, if you doubt the doctor´s decision, you can always get a second opinion. I'm no doctor, but isn´t Type 1 diabetes the one where the cause is unknown? Like it may be your mother did everything right, but could still get it.

    One thing that's interesting to note about this is that diabetics are apparently advised to avoid hot springs (https://www.medicinenet.com/why_cant_people_with_diabetes_go_in_hot_tubs/article.htm) so I have to assume that would extend to onsen facilities, too.

Favorite eco-friendly Japan brands

I posted this morning about an initiative that repurposes parts from retired Osaka Metro train cars and turns them into bags, chairs, and more. I'm also a big fan of the Nozomi Project, who make jewelry items with broken pottery found after the 2011 earthquake/tsunami. Do you have any favorite Japan-based brands that have a focus on upcycling or eco-friendliness?

What's a Japanese autumn tradition you've really come to love?

I mentioned in a blog yesterday that one of the things I love about autumn is the yakiimo warmers that pop up in convenience stores, supermarkets, and farmer's markets at this time of year. What's an autumn tradition that you've come to love during your years here? It could be anything...food-related things, autumn festivals you really enjoy, or possibly something else entirely!

Autumn travel trends in Japan, and where you might opt for instead

I saw a press release this week from the travel platform Agoda about travel trends in Japan for autumn. The biggest jumps in searches since last year were for Kagawa Prefecture, Shizuoka Prefecture, Hyogo Prefecture, and Hiroshima Prefecture. Have you visited any of those places in autumn, or maybe even lived (or currently living!) there? Any places you might opt for instead?

Job-related platforms that get you attention?

I'm on LinkedIn and get some positive attention from employers. I'm also on Hello Sensei, a platform for English tutoring. Occasionally, I get bites from employers. I get that we, City Cost correspondents, are in different fields. But which outlets do you use to broaden you employement prospects?
