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.

Japanese names you love?

I blogged yesterday about this year's top baby names in Japan, and there was quite a focus on nature and calmness in the most popular picks. I was wondering if there are any Japanese names you love for the meaning behind them. Maybe you have a friend, coworker, or even family member with a beautiful name. I'd be happy to hear what it is, and why you like it so much!
