	Avera November 28, 2008 at 1:32 am I'm glad this book was listed here. My neighbor's son has a copy. He is Type 1 and plays in several high school sports. It seems as if this year, several TV shows have done special stories about athletes and diabetes. Glad to see a book with good info.

Read it for all kinds of exercise smarts.
