I started this to help motivate me to record blood sugars and analyze results, with the hope that it can expand and be useful to other Type 1 Diabetic athletes. Since everyday is a trial and often, error, I hope to hear from any of you who may have had success with things I haven't tried. Please feel free to contact me or put anyone you know in contact with me.

Article in the Toronto Star about Chris Jarvis in the Pan Am Games

I was up visiting my family in Ontario, Canada this week and we found this article in the Toronto Star about Chris Jarvis the Canadian Rower. It is a nice article...I have just one complaint...

The article states:
"Jarvis uses a Meditronic insulin pump that attaches to his side and controls the flow of insulin in the body and gives him a constant reading of his blood sugar level, as well as analyzes food intake."

PLEASE, GET ME ONE OF THOSE! (no such thing exists) the writer does not understand nor give credit to all the work that Chris has to do. The article makes it seem like the pump does it all. Wouldn't that be nice?!
