triabetes

My son has Type 1 diabetes. We know five of the 10 praticipants in triabetes. What is also so wonderful about the triabetes project is that it created a "brotherhood" and support community among type 1 diabetics. We have found that the doctor can't give you the inspiration and motivation you need to really take good care of yourself, or to compete at these advanced levels. It really takes others who have it, live it, and who not only take good care of themselves, but go above and beyond! Our family is so proud of all of the triabetics. The triabetes project also incorporated a program called IronKids, through Nerothin's organization, Insulindependence.org. Each triabetes athlete was paired with a child between the ages of 9-12 with type 1 diabetes during their training for Ironman. Then these children went on a guided canoe trip together up to where the Ironman Wisconsin was being held, and got to come through the finish line with their triabetes mentor. Now these children not only have made friends with children their own ages to communicate with and encourage each other, they can have a lasting relationship with real champions!

Endurance Athletics and Diabetes

Endurance athletics in many ways fights diabetes head on. Many cardiac and circulatory surgery patients have diabetes. Atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, limited blood perfusion and oxygen deliver, lower blood volumes, reduced oxygenation to the peripheral tissues (diabetic foot problems no excluding neruropathic foot problems) are just a few of the problems. Endurance training forces oxygenation to go everywhere in the body. Increased oxygen delivery, increased capillary beds for better oxygen delivery, lung/blood/mitochondria/myoglobin/strength/endurance levels all increase with endurance exercise. And that means you feel better and have a better chance at staying off the surgery table.

Triabetes has filled my life with hope and comraderie in a life that could have been entirely different.

Thanks Peter.
