It has been several years since I played baseball and basketball in high school and Division I soccer in college. Wanting to stay more active, I began competing in triathlons in 2010. As my exercise level increased with training, I began experiencing new challenges with my blood sugar and diabetes management. Having no friends with the same struggles, I was feeling isolated. I then discovered Insulindependence and joined the Triabetes club online. Feeling better with my own training and diabetes management, I felt I wanted to give back. As a Triabetes Team Captain in 2011-2012, I hope to share iD's mission and help grow the New England network so others may not feel isolated with their diabetes management. It is my hope that setting and reaching for my own goals, I may inspire others to do the same.
