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.

What's on your "generic" local manhole?

My local area has some specialty manholes (including some from the Gundam manhole project not too far away!) but the most common "generic" one features mountains and watermelon. Fairly representative of the region, I think! What's on yours?

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Who is your hero!?

Today, January 16th, is Hero Day. Who is your favorite hero, fictional or otherwise? The first one who comes to my mind for me is a real life person; Mary Robinson, a former president of Ireland (moreover, the first female president), and a former United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, among other impressive roles. I had the great pleasure of meeting her in December, a dream come true. I was trying to think about who my favorite fictional hero is. I have not come to conclusion yet! There is such a choice. Do you have one?

Recommendations for next Christmas?

While its somewhat fresh in your mind, what gifts came into your house this Christmas and / or New Year, that you thought were really nice things to receive and / or really good buys, that you think might make a good present for someone else in the future? As you might see in the product reviews, I am going through some of the things I bought for the kids this year and thinking of what I was really happy with. And already thinking of next year!
