Diabetic riders..

I have been riding on and off for abot 20 years now and was diagnosed with diabetes about 7 years ago. I backed off and sold my bike in favor of a Wellness center membership with my wife (she is a life long diabetic ). Then came 4 way bypass surgery two years ago and I started using an insulin pump. Long story short the pump has given me much better control and we (the wife already used a pump) just bought new bikes and started doing miles near the house. I'm almost up to 10miles in the morning after work and plan on a few 20 - 30 milers on weekends. Just wondering how many others out there may be diabetic and riding.
