Blood sugar was 87 when I finished, so no low BS duriing race. May have been just a tad high when I started, which contributed some to the cramps I felt in the last mile. Overall, it was good, but I wished I had finished the race stronger.

Anne...it was such an honor to meet you this morning.

The documentary this morning moved me to tears. I hope that you realize that your actions provide so much inspiration to so many of us T1's...especially the kids.

I will be there again tomorrow to support as you and the Triabetes team embark on yet another Ironman triathlon. Go for it Anne, you are a true T1 hero!!!

Will do!

Hi

I'm sending you this message because I see you listed as living in the East Bay. I'm planning on starting a weekly Diabetes Support Group which will be open to all Types, all ages. The purpose will be to create a safe place to share the feelings, thoughts, hopes and fears we all go through as well as share insight and strength for managing our diabetes. It will be in an informal setting and the fee nominal.

My qualifications for facilitating this group are that I am a retired Counselor with over 25 years experience doing groups. I just returned from living for two years in Guatemala and currently teach Psychology online for a Community College.

Perhaps even more important I was misdiagnosed as Type 2 diabetic two years ago; did fine on oral meds for awhile and then my numbers started to climb. After a lot of research and a lot of talking to others I realized I was LADA/1.5 and am now stable on a basal/bolus insulin regimen. Through this experience I went through the anxiety, fear and sense of being overwhelmed by diabetes. Today I live with this disease on a daily basis with both full recognition of how it affects everything in my life and a commitment to living a full rich life outside of Diabetes.

Please contact me here or at zoelula@hotmail.com if you are interested in participating in a support group.

i went oh from '95 to '98 i think.

Hi Anne, I have gotten a wild hair and am interested in doing a triathalon. Do you know if there are any Triabetes people near Birmingham, AL? I have a lot of training to do but I have run a marathon pre-diabetes. Does triabetes accept people of all fitness levels? I think I can do it, I just need to train a lot. thanks!

Hello Anne,
I work as a surgeon (plastic and reconstructive) at K SFO. Ive been with Kaiser now for about 12 1/2 years.
Curious as to which pump you are using and whether you use a cgms especially for your triathalons

Hey just saw that you really liked your endo at kaiser in the south bay. That's where I am and i'm looking for a new endo. Who's yours? and do you still recommend him/her? Thanks!
