Comments on: October 4: Canby to Susanville, California http://www.thedreamtour.org/blog/2006/10/04/october-4-canby-to-susanville-california/ Bicycling 48 states to show that having diabetes does not mean giving up your dreams Thu, 8 Jan 2009 21:42:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Florian (Type 1, dx 1967) http://www.thedreamtour.org/blog/2006/10/04/october-4-canby-to-susanville-california/#comment-3686 Sat, 07 Oct 2006 18:35:33 +0000 http://www.thedreamtour.org/blog/2006/10/04/october-4-canby-to-susanville-california/#comment-3686 Hi Peter, With blood sugars like that people are going to wonder, does he really have Type 1 diabetes? If touring 48 states on a bicycle leads to a cure, I'm right behind you....look out everyone! I think it takes someone with diabetes to really know and appreciate the hard work and great effort that it takes to maintain near normal blood sugars all the time. You are doing a great job and you have demonstrated that using the 4 step management program, (1) taking medication (insulin), (2) eating well and healthy, (3) testing blood sugars frequently, and (4)being active and exercising (bicycle touring) does work and is the best way to keep blood sugars as normal as possible and hopefully prevent complications. Congratulations Pete you have been an inspiration to all people living with diabetes and a good teacher as well. Hi Peter,

It's a beautiful setting that you might enjoy. Maybe spend the weeekend there and visit Lake Tahoe instead of facing a lot of traffic on Highway 50 on the weekend. Traffic might be lighter during the week. You seem to be ahead of your schedule and should be home by next weekend. We will miss your daily blogs but will feel good knowing that you have completed your DreamTtrip. Love to ypou both.

Very impressive, though I'm sure you're looking forward to the end. Awhile ago I ran into biking and other friends of yours on an aborted BBTC ride, the Hansens. This morning I just sent mail to the dept's profs and the Flux group about this amazing tour by one of our alumni. Let us know when and where we can welcome you home!
