Drafting in Diabetes

The other day I read Seth Godin’s blog about drafting and realized how it parallels living with diabetes. He writes that drafting works physically, because of aerodynamics, and mentally because the proof (that you can go faster) is right in front of you. Same goes for diabetes: when you connect with others who have diabetes, you find inspiration, information, and proof that you can live well. Ironically, today I received a link for an upcoming diabetes event. When I checked out the website I discovered that this group was founded (and their programs were named) because of “slipstreaming,” which is just another word for “drafting.” Big words, small world. Enjoy.
