1) The outcome of my presentation at the conference
I gave a poster presentation in an audio guide tour style on October 4th.
My title was "Comparison of current BMI and BMI histories to screen for undiagnosed diabetes in Japanese men: Toranomon Hospital Health Management Center Study". I was questioned about the validity of medical examination by interview and the clinical significance of my research.
2) The outcome of compiling the significant information
I audited the guidelines of diabetic research in future. Also I was able to lean about interdisciplinary fields such as, the possibility of Βcellulariziation of the pancreas α cell etc, molecular biology and clinical medicine. Moreover, I was able to audit an interesting content about the change of taste by gene polymorphisms system.
I also audited the relationship between diet and blood sugar control. A lot of information was different from usual opinions, so it was exciting. I felt that we will need an evaluation of the difference between religious restriction and cultural background in their effect on diet.
