Team Type 1 diabetes serious about racing, their health

KUSA - There is a very unique team in the USA Pro Cycling Challenge. One that was formed as an eight-person Race Across America cycling team, but after they won that race four times, they decided to get serious. Truth be told, members of this team have been serious about their health long before the team came about.

"I have Type 1 diabetes, so it's got a bit of extra meaning for me," Fabio Calabria said.

"I thought the bike could be a good platform to show the world, it doesn't really matter where you are, it's where you want to be and what steps you need to do to get there," Phil Southerland said.

Calabria was racing bikes before being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 11. After a few years of balancing sport and diagnosis, Calabria was invited by the CEO of Team Type 1, who also has diabetes, to join his team.

"It was a really nice opportunity to race for a team that was doing more than racing bikes," Calabria said. "It was a good opportunity and something special for me to be a part of."

Supposed to do, including having pedicures, getting waxed, or making any kind of permanent change to our bodies, namely getting pierced or tattooed. But where did these rules come from? And are they really worth listening to in this day and age? Today, Allison and I take a look a few of these “diabetes no-no’s” to see what you can really get away with.

Pedicures

Amy: I didn’t realize what a diabetes rebel I was until I read Kerri’s recent post about the taboo on pedicures with diabetes. What the … ? She was told as a youngster never to set foot in a nail salon, and has been afraid to do so ever since.

I, on the other hand, who was diagnosed at age 37, happen to live for salon pedicures. I have for a number of years now. I’ve even been to several mani-pedi birthday parties for friends here in the San Francisco Bay Area. My girlfriends and I just love the love salon experience.  Nothing is quite as relaxing as sitting in that automatic-massage chair and having your feet luxuriously cleaned and pampered by a professional. You pick out youir colors and then plunge your feet into that little foot-sized hot tub to soak in fragrance water before they even get started… mmmm…
