"Just a note to let you know that we used your book extensively on our daughter's recent trip to Japan. It was very informative and helpful for the teachers who accompanied the girls. It also enabled us to inform the host family about diabetes resources in Osaka, and to prepare them for L's arrival. Their knowledge about diabetes, evident when L arrived, indicates that they visited the resource centre.
The book also gave L a ready means of communicating when she needed to. Finally, using the book gave us, as parents, a high degree of comfort so that the cross-cultural exchange was not an issue from the point of view of diabetes.
So, thank you for taking the time to research and write the book."
