It is easy to obtain some informations concerning Type 1 diabetes (used to be called juvenile diabetes) because many materials have been published on the topic.

However, it is rare for patients with diabetes at a young age to share, understand some of the unique condition of type 1 diabetes in children/adolescence and obtain some answers regarding problems concerning the treatment.

In this corner, Professor and Chair Uchigata in the Diabetes Center, Tokyo Women's Medical University, School of Medicine who has specialized in the treatment of type 1 diabetes in children/adolescence for many years, is willing to talk about the knowledges and experiences which she acquired through giving treatment and to share with both medical and/or co-medical staffs involved in patient education and the patients who have to spend their life with diabetes.

We hope this page will give you hints to help answer their various questions.
