[QUOTE="Snodger, post: 144027, member: 27045"] Agreed, and I'm pretty sure the last two gold medals were while he was type 1 (and older than most other competitors) and also after he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Oh, and also running the marathon after those diagnoses, too. The man is astounding and very inspirational. I actually think that coming back and getting more gold medals after a diagnosis of diabetes is breathtaking... think of the psychological effort as well as the physical effort, if you see yourself as an Olympic sportsman and suddenly you have a disease that everyone reckons has knocked your career on the head. Can I also say thanks for this thread, good idea. Enjoyable to read. Has anyone mentioned Mary Tyler Moore yet? Given the prejudice against type 1 (and the difficulty of managing it) at the time she became famous, I think she did all right. [/QUOTE]
