The recent Type 1 diabetes diagnosis of NFL Bronco’s quarterback Jay Cutler has sparked much awareness to the number of professional athletes who are also living with the disease. Like all people with Type 1 diabetes, these athletes must consistently monitor diet, exercise and insulin levels to be able to play and compete safely. Isn’t it encouraging to know that such a life-altering disease doesn’t have to stop our youth from living out their dreams?
