Asia and Western Pacific region has the largest number of diabetic patients in the world. In that region, clinical conditions are diverse because of variety of ethnicity as well as cultural back ground, and approach to science-navigated treatment is an urgent need.

Illuminative events accompanied the Congress, namely, open lectures for citizens, “3 km-run & walk”, “aerobic exercise”, and “diabetes conversation map”. Total number of participants was 1,598. To draw people’s attention to eradication of diabetes, famous spots including ICC Kyoto, Nijo castle, Toji Temple,and Kiyomizu Temple were lit up, and subtle and profound scenes loomed up in the night sky.
