I am extremely excited to be joining the Glucomotive team for 2011-12. When I was diagnosed as Type 1, I had a few physicians tell me that I would not be able to run the trail ultramarathons that I had trained so long and hard for. This just pushed me to train harder than I had before. I finished my first 100-mile trail race later that year. Through all of this, I came to the realization that I was able to maintain tighter glucose control through training and exercise. I am very eager to help empower others living with diabetes to better control their diabetes and reach their maximum potential.
