My daughter is preparing for her Senior Research Project in college.
Since she is an Exercise Science major (Chemistry minor), she has
chosen the following subject:

Type 1 Diabetes and the Athlete.

Are there any members of this forum who are Type 1 (insulin dependent)
diabetics? Or, does any member of this forum know someone who is a
Type 1 diabetic? (For the purpose of her research a Type 1 diabetic
who is competing in ANY athletic endeavor will suffice).

If so, please PM me with details and I will forward the info on to her.

Many thanks!

I know a few diabetics but none of them are very active, not to the levels your daughter wants to look at. I'll stick up this link but have no doubt she already knows about it.

FYI, there was an interesting article on Team Type 1 in Bicycling magazine recently.

Finally! My daugher has received approval by the college to start her
project. There were a number of issues concerning her subject. And, the
school wanted to "cover their elbow!"

Also, the school insisted that she not use her school e-maill address.
They were concerned with the possibility of her being "stalked" by
some Internet pervert.

She may be contacted via:

c gulledge 05 (at) gmail dot com

(please remove the spaces, replacing the (at) and the dot with a (.)

Many, many thanks!

The following is the abstract of the preliminary research presentation
by:

Catarina Gulledge

Physical Activity and Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes only represents a small number of the total cases of
diabetes throughout the world, but it is a disease with serious
consequences because the body stops producing the hormone
insulin. Without this hormone, the body cannot get glucose into the
cells to be metabolized into energy. While there is no cure for type
1 diabetes, there are ways to manage the disease. Physical activity
is one of those ways; it makes the cells more receptive to obtaining
glucose from the bloodstream, thus acting somewhat like insulin.
However, not all people affected by type 1 diabetes engage in
physical activity. This research will examine the challenges males
with type 1 diabetes face in regard to physical activity, and how
physical activity affects them. This work will hopefully provide
insights into this disease, provide information on how current type
1 diabetics deal with this disease, and thus provide more ways to
encourage more type 1 diabetics to engage in physical activity.

If you are a male and at least 18-years-old, or know someone who
fits this profile and might be interested in participating, please
e-mail:

cgulledge05@gmail.com

Please note that participation would involve filling out a survey.

Thank you for your consideration.
