Letter from the Editor, #795

This week we have lots of information for you. We continue to see the value of individualizing diabetes care for every patient and there is no better way to show you this than to share a couple of interviews I had this week at the U.S. Pro Challange Bike Race. I got to sit down with Kevin De Mesmaeker and Ben Dilley, two riders with Team NovoNordisk. Although they train together and race together, the way they approach their diabetes control is quite different. Click here find out.

One thing they do have in common is their use of CGM to manage their diabetes, and if you check out Item #11 you will see how these devices can benefit everyone.

If you want to find out how it is possible for these athletes to get on their bikes and ride 120 miles on some of the steepest climbs in the Rockies, then be sure read Dr. Sheri Colberg’s feature on “Skeletal Muscle: A Muscle Primer: What It Is, Why It Matters.” You may be surprised that some of the latest fads don’t necessarily give the results that we expect.
