Athlete’s Guide to Diabetes The Athlete’s Guide to Diabetes is much in my mind again. A few days ago, my A1c levels were re-checked; and they’re still 6.1. That’s in the pre-diabetes range; so I have to keep watching my diet. I suspect that that will be the case for the rest of my life.

Say What? Say what? Is that my knee complaining? Do I hear my muscles screaming? Listen to your body, they say. Learn to tell the difference between well-worked muscles; and true pain. Pain means something isn’t right; and pushing through it might lead to serious problems. I’m far from being a pro cyclist, with a
