    Diabetic Lineman on Boston College Football Team!

    Rich Lapham was diagnosed with diabetes when he was 13 years old, but today is a lineman on the Boston College football team. Lapham was recently featured in the Boston Herald for his athletic perseverence despite his Type 1 diabetes, and just like the rest of us: diabetes is challenging for him, too, but he simply doesn't let it get in the way of... Read moreChevron

    ASK GINGER - Does diabetes ever make you depressed?

    Hey Ginger, Does diabetes ever make you depressed? A kid in my high school has diabetes and he told me he also goes to a doctor because his diabetes makes him depressed. I get really angry about my diabetes sometimes, and it’s been getting worse since I got into high school. I just wish I didn’t have it, and didn’t have to... Read moreChevron

    ASK GINGER - Is it normal to need to adjust my insulin doses sometimes?

    Dear Ginger, It seems like the amount of insulin I need changes, sometimes just for a day, like around exercise, or sometimes it's like it's changed for a big period of time, and I'm going low a lot. I started trying to eat healthier, and I kept having a ton of lows, so how I do eat better but not crash all the time? Is it normal to have... Read moreChevron

My doctor usually only talks about my A1C level and all the complications I could get later on...is it the same thing? -Steve     Hey Steve,   Your doctor often refers to those horrific diabetic complications... Read moreChevron

    ASK GINGER - Serious T1 teen athlete frustrated with weight gain

    Hey Ginger, I'm in an feuling/fitness conundrum. I'm currently running between 20-25 miles a week, swim laps 2 hours a week, and I do 2 hourlong spin classes a week. I've also gained 25 pounds since last summer. ACK! It seems counterintuitive for an endurance athlete to restrict carbs; my pump says I consume on average 120 grams a... Read moreChevron
