The Athletic Diabetic is a supportive community and resource for active diabetics (Type 1, Type 2, and pre-diabetics) who exercise on a regular basis to control their A1C, in addition to taking medication and insulin. Jerry Morgan founded The Athletic Diabetic for fellow active diabetics, to encourage healthy, active lifestyles and getting the most out of life. Diabetics are encouraged to visit The Athletic Diabetic community on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/TheAthleticDiabetic) and join in the conversation. ABOUT JERRY MORGAN Jerry Morgan was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2008 at the age of 51, as the result of an untreated spider bite. In the space of 11 months, he went from a pre-diabetic to a Type 1. Determined to learn how to manage and control his blood sugar, Morgan gained extensive knowledge about diabetes. His endocrinologist has been extremely helpful in his education and management program. Morgan created and developed retail consumer products for the food industry for more than 33 years. His favorite activities are running, hiking, biking, and rock climbing. He believes that regular exercise, diet, and a positive outlook on life are the reasons he’s been able to manage and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
