Since partly retiring, I've had more time to focus on my health, which led me to explore different approaches to managing my T2D into medication-free remission. My daily routine now includes morning walks through Tokyo's neighborhoods and incorporating more local Japanese dishes into my diet. The most fascinating part of this journey has been using a CGM to understand how different foods affect my blood sugar – it's been quite the learning experience that I've started documenting at a YouTube channel called "Beating Back Diabetes in Tokyo," (www.youtube.com/@BeatingBackDiabetesinTokyo-o2s) where I share bits and pieces of my experience with both Western and Japanese meals, along with their effects on blood sugar levels (HbA1c % values using NGSP scale). You'll also get to see snippets of life in Tokyo – from peaceful morning park exercises to the everyday rhythm of city life. Coming up, I'll be exploring some traditional Japanese New Year dishes and seeing how they fare on the CGM.
I'm really just sharing what I've learned along the way to becoming diabetes medication-free so if you're interested in Japanese food, daily life in Tokyo, or managing blood sugar levels using CGM, you might find something useful here. Feel free to drop by and share your thoughts or suggest Japanese dishes you'd like to learn more about!
