Do you know any athletes with type 2 diabetes?

I don’t think I have ever met an athletic person with type 2 diabetes. I’m not talking about people who play horse shoes, bowl or shoot archery. I’m talking about runners, swimmers, soccer players, basketball players and those who really get their heart rate going.

    It can happen but is not likely because most type 2 diabetics are over weight and fitness and being overweight just dont go together. I have type 1 diabetes so I know quite a bit about this. I have never heard of one but it can happen

    Well i’m diabetic (Type 1) and I run 7 miles sometimes. Tomorow I will probably run 8 with my X-Country team.

    By sometimes I mean that I usually run around 5-5.5 miles.
