Subject: Any other triabetics?

I had someone post on my introduction thread that there are some other type 1 diabetics on BT.

I have had type 1 diabetes for over 35 years but just started competing in triathlon last July.  I did my first sprint.

Would love to talk to other type 1s who do longer events as IM is one of my goals.

Peace

Michael

BTW I hope this is the right forum for this post??

I worked the change tent of IMWI this weekend and helped a Type 1 check his sugar at T2.  He had his kit in his gear bag.  I opened it up and gave it too him, he checked it, his reading was 126 which he said was "perfect"and he grabbed his visor and headed out on the run!

A guy who is part of our tri club is. He almost got disqualified from a race because an official thought is pump was a i-pod!

124 is a good place to stay if you can while racing

IPOD pump...hmmm.... I wonder how the official thought the headphones were working plugged into the guys stomach (grin)
