Amazing. I am a personal trainer with type 1 diabetes. I didn’t know I had it until I had been working as a trainer for six months. Of course I had to stop doing that, as I was killing my body. I don’t understand how you can do what you do, other than you have an amazing metabolism. Well done, I wish I was like you.

Jay how long have u had Type 1? I’ve had it 23 yrs. Growing up I was very athletic and never knew sickness – I was a state volleyball champ – I ran track and hurdles in high school – I used to jog 3 miles a day – then at the age of 24 I was diagnosed with type 1 – I need some motivation lately since now Ive got some complications can u help?

I’m a type 1 diabetic and I just got into triathlon this past year. I have 4 races under my belt – 2 sprint distance and 2 olympic distance races. I’m hoping to complete a half ironman in 2010 and an ironman in 2012. This video is very inspiring… the only thing I can recommend for those with the disease is get into exercise!! being active is my #1 defense against complications…

IDDM 10 years. This guy is AWESOME. I love the look on his face at the end of the race. people are collapsing before the finish line and he doesn’t even look tired.
