[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1669715, member: 459333"] Pretty astounding. It's impossible to correlate unless those specific athletes are followed up for life, but it made me curious as to the life expectancy of athletes in general! I just checked and it seems it's pretty good - above average. I've always wondered about what we really know about glucose patterns and damage. Most studies I've read say either that continually high levels are bad, and/or that high spikes are bad. But could it be that, in the right circumstances, spikes such as those seen in these athletes are dealt with well, due to other factors? For example is there insulin data to go along with that glucose data? Someone with Type 2, eating to produce glucose patterns that match those athletes, may have different insulin patterns. Or maybe the damage is the same for athletes and people with Type 2, but there are other advantages to being extremely athletic which help to compensate. [/QUOTE]
