athletes with diabetes

Do you consider yourself an athlete? I don’t consider myself an athlete. Despite the fact that three times a week since December 3rd (but who’s keeping track?) I’ve been doing things with muscles that have probably never been awake. I’ve been doing weights and reps and rounds like you wouldn’t believe (ok, now I’m getting a little dramatic).

I played on many sports teams from 4th through 12th grades, but I never considered myself an athlete. I even participated in a road race (fundraiser) once, which I walked. Anyway, from time to time I have fantasized about doing something more challenging like a triathlon or half-marathon. Have you? Have you ever wondered how in the world you would manage diabetes and complete something like that?

There is a wonderful group called TeamWILD (We Inspire Life with Diabetes), and they help people with diabetes realize their athletic dreams. The really cool part is that anyone, even non-athletes like me, can work with this group and accomplish amazing things. Check them out!

What is your athletic dream?
