Overcoming Burnout of Taking Care of Your Diabetes
Posted by Andy Sanchez on June 19, 2013 at 4:21pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

So here are my questions: How…

Sailing With Diabetics

This is a reprint of an article I wrote for Multihulls Magazine Jan/Feb 2013. It was geared towards sailors and crew members who are not familiar with diabetes. As a person with diabetes, it would be a great primer for anyone you may sail with to be followed up with a discussion of a more detailed plan of action.
