In reply to UKC Articles: Good work Jerry.
I'm a diabetic mountaineer and I feel the diabetic bits were over emphasised. I see the need - this is a story to promote diabetic awareness, but do we really need sympathy for all those blood tests and injections? I don't, I want people to stop considering diabetics as a liability in the hills.
However, the really great thing about this article is how those with type 1 diabetes needn't consider anything off limits and aren't a liability. In fact the largest trials faced here weren't really related to diabetes, in my opinion.
Again, great.
