Anyone have experience with college athletics and T1D?

[allison]

Hi, I actually don’t have any personal experience with college athletics and T1 (I tried rowing for 2 weeks and didn’t like the team dynamics)… BUT I have 2 resources that may be helpful!

• The Diabetic Athlete’s Handbook - very handy, lots of info for even people who aren’t athletes
• Type 1 Diabetic Athletes facebook group - lots of smarty pants people on here who know a LOT about how to manage exercise as a diabetic - I realize your son may not be into facebook but you could check it out for him

Welcome to the forum, @allison!

We have a lot of people here who are experts at managing diabetes with high level athletic activities, btw. The present forum is a great source of peer info.

Sure thing! She was looking for other resources so just thought I’d add those. Not trying to take away from this forum at all.

Posting resources is never discouraged. Thanks for adding to the conversation.
