“Professional Complication Manager” that is my identity

If you ask me what kind of doctor I am, the answer is “Professional Complication Manager.”

Since I began treating diabetes I have always held the firm conviction that it is important to stop the advance of complications in successful therapy. The reason for my further research studies into diabetes at Rockefeller University in the United States was for the same thing: to continue my study into stopping complications.

Diabetes is an illness signified by complications. All sorts of complications gradually eat away at a patient’s body. Among patients coming in under our care, there are those with complications which are well developed and severe; patients for who it could be thought: it’s too late. Even with those patients I experience a feeling of “Come on in! I am ready to examine anything.”

For sufferers of diabetes the good news is that kidney complications (diabetic nephropathy) can be cured with the recent discovery of new treatment. If the treatment is properly carried out, there is no more worry of hemodialysis. This new treatment also removes detrimental AGE compounds.

I can speak to diabetic complications from a wealth of experience. I have studied and been involved in diabetes research overseas as well as domestically, and used that learning in treatments practiced in public and private university hospitals. For patients who absolutely do not want to let their condition deteriorate, for patients already under the strain of worsening health, my wish is to use my knowledge and experience to help them as best I can. Thanks to this experience and new treatments, today I have confidence that I can take a patient with the onset of complications and cure them.
