We congratulate Micheal Phelps on his extrordinary accomplishment. While searching google for an appropriate Video for this article I came across the following and realized there is a lot to learn from him and all of our Olympic Champions.

For those of us who are type 2 diabetics the mesage has special poinancy. To be our best we need to train ourselves to excel. Our competions are personal and we get graded on our performance every time we do a blood glucose reading or do our quarterly A1Cs. When I see my daily readings at 4.4 mml/l ( 79 mg / dl) or an A1C of 5.0 with out meds (Higher degree of difficulty) it is like an exceptionally high score from the Olympic judges. Instead of a medal, our prize is much better healt, quality of life and possibly even longer life to enjoy all the things available to us. Thank you Micheal Phelps for the out standing example you give us all and for what you are sharing in this video.

As diabetics, our demons and sharks are the  unexceptable diabetic complications we face if we do not excel at controlling our blood glucose

Watch the Video and apply the concepts you your daily lives.
