Inspirational Teams of Athletes with Diabetes Build Momentum in 2009 with Sponsorship from Long-Acting Insulin Lantus(R) and Rapid-Acting Insulin...( The teams that make up Team Type ...),Health

The teams that make up Team Type 1 are comprised of athletes that may not be typical of a patient with diabetes and individual results may vary. Exercise or activity level may change the way your body uses insulin. Check with your healthcare provider before you start an exercise program because your dose may need to be changed. Also remember to discuss hypoglycemia and the need for regular blood sugar monitoring with your doctor.

In addition to their busy racing schedule, members of Team Type 1 and Team Type 2 will participate in educational speaking engagements across the country to spread awareness of diabetes and encourage others with the disease to take an active role toward managing their condition.

About Team Type 1

In 2004, friends and team co-founders Phil Southerland and Joe Eldridge set out to prove to themselves and others in the diabetes community that having diabetes doesn't mean you can't achieve your goals. Since then, the team has competed in and twice won the 3,052 mile-long RAAM. In 2008, with the support of a sponsorship from Apidra(R), Team Type 1 fielded two teams: an amateur development level team for the 2008 RAAM comprised of 11 riders, all living with type 1 diabetes, and a professional level racing team featuring a mixed roster of 15 cyclists, including four members with diabetes. In 2009, Team Type 1 is fielding four teams, with a total of 46 athletes (with and without diabetes) competing in professional, amateur level and triathlon competitions.
