Diabetes does not mean the end of an athletic career. On the next Outdoor Explorer we’ll meet elite athletes and adventurers who deal with this disease. It's fascinating how these athletes meet this challenge, dealing with blood chemistry while climbing mountains or swimming in a triathlon. We'll also discuss how kids and parents work through it and stay active in Alaska as well.
We'll also hear from a pair of teenage friends who've supported each other as each of them was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. That piece comes to us from Open Orchard Productions.
