I was watching the Swimming Olympic Trials on Pax TV

this evening, and they were doing the profile of a

swimmer named Hall Jr.

WIn his bio, they said that 18 months ago he was

diagnosed as diabetic, I am quietly thinking yeah,

someone that can prove that life doesn't end with

diagnosis.

Then he says that his doc told him his swimming career

is over. I thought that was a little over zealous on

the doctors behalf.

The commentators were making it sound as if diabetes

is a death sentence, if it is, then I don't want to

believe it.

then said that there are no pro athletes that are

diabetic, is that true. I thought there was a

football player that was. Where I went to college, I

knew there were a couple of footballl players, a

wrestler, and a basketball player that were diabetic,

and this was a Big 10 school.

He also said that he was taking 8 shots a day, which

sounds almost right to me, for someone that is

undergoing that much training and having to eat to

keep up his energy. Am I mistaken?

Like I said in the subject, comments requested. I am

still a newbie at gathering this information, info

that differs from what all PCPs have always told me

about this illness. My Endo and this list is

shattering some of those misconceptions.

Thank you for your time.

Lily
