I chose to become a Glucomotive Captain in order to be an active part in building a diabetic community in my area. While I was not very athletic before my diagnosis, I have become an endurance athlete over the last 10 years and have completed 3 marathons, 1 Ironman, and several half Ironmans. I have learned so much about myself and my diabetes since becoming involved with Insulindpendence. This year I am looking forward to learning more from the people in my community and introducing others to the positive benefit of an active lifestyle as part of their approach to diabetes management.
