And my 18 month A1C was a freaking 6 down from an original dx of 15.4!!! I couldn't believe it. Even my MD's were amazed at how quickly I've taken and owned my T1D. I've still got work to do as I…Continue

Noticed your post about being a distance runner and wanted to let you know that diabetes and running go great together.
TeamType1 has an amateur running team and triathlon team. (I'm a member of the running team). One of our key races for 2011 is actually the Chicago Marathon. You can learn more about us at http:/www.TeamType1.org
And if you no longer run, the "distance runner mindset" will still serve you will as you learn more. :)
Best,
Marcus Grimm
