It is difficult to understate how far diabetes treatment has come in the last 20 years -- even in the ten years since I was diagnosed. In particular, the insulin pump (which replaces shots) and the continuous glucose monitor (which gives real-time information on blood sugars) have made tight control of blood sugar levels much more possible -- which, in turn, makes it easier to engage in regular athletic activity.<br /><br />Playing sports with diabetes is a real challenge; I can say that from experience. But it's a challenge that medicine is making easier, year-by-year, and I certainly will be rooting for Castner to make his mark for the Lions.Peter Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00889542497907933517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-42018041356250854572015-06-26T07:30:16.784-07:002015-06-26T07:30:16.784-07:00Jake, Penn alums from the 1960s into the 70s have ...Jake, Penn alums from the 1960s into the 70s have a special hatred for Columbia because Penn's reputation during those years was that it was a safety school and the Ivy of last resort. Because we were regarded as so much stronger academically people from Penn were always envious of us. That has carried over into years of the most mean spirited blogging about us, sometimes ugly (foehi, a Columbia reject) and sometimes either insidious or damning with faint praise (Asia Sunset).oldlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242868168620796807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-59809071239625345182015-06-25T22:36:22.457-07:002015-06-25T22:36:22.457-07:00I am pretty sure the topic of Bags energy level wa...I am pretty sure the topic of Bags energy level was discussed on this board after the hire. He just needed a breather. Coaching takes the life out of you if you don't have balance. Actually any job will do that where it becomes the foundation for one's existence. Bags openly lamented his inability to get a round of golf in due to job commitments. Personally, I can't imagine not having any free time to do non-job activities. Not once in a while - every day. If someone is in a job that is their existence then it is time to re-evaluate priorities. Hopefully Bags takes a more balanced approach and stays in the game for years to come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-15963476375727612732015-06-25T19:55:42.039-07:002015-06-25T19:55:42.039-07:00It's an excellent, if highly speculative, colu...It's an excellent, if highly speculative, column.

The only surprise was in seeing just how relatively (relatively, mind) "tiny" he seems.I remain, very truly yours, Richard Szathmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958453732960356469noreply@blogger.com
