The Adventures of Type 1 Ironman
Fishing with Diabetic Friends

My exercising has gone to the back burner with ice fishing season in full swing and with me being sidelined until I get my orthodics tomorrow.

Last Friday, I went fishing with a bunch of friends including three diabetic friends who have never been ice fishing before. Zyler and Madi had never been fishing at all and Johnny hadn’t fished in fresh water and hadn’t been ice fishing. The crew in our van drove about 300 miles total and fished three different lakes. Our day started at 4:30am and ended at 7pm. I worked so hard that I was too exhausted for my 3 hr bike ride on Saturday and could only do 90 minutes.
