[QUOTE="copepod, post: 144036, member: 21372"] I don't regard myself as successful or inspirational, but I have discovered that several GP friends who I know socially, usually through expeditions / travel / adventure racing / mountain marathons etc are relatively surprised when, sometimes years after first meeting, they discover that I've had type 1 diabetes for years. One asked me to write a couple of articles about independent adventurous overseas travel for a magazine in which she usually writes the medical pages. I hope that what they know of me helps them to help others with type 1 diabetes in their practices - basically, let me get on with it, and support with (non-excessive) requests for prescriptions, including ibuprofen for the inevitable aches & pains eg last couple of days following Saunders Lake Mountain Marathon last weekend.
