I am comfortable running shirtless. I am on MDI so I also have the bruises. LOL I was dx’ed type 1, 2 years ago at age 52. If it helps I am also a Veteran.

Manny,

Here are a few shots of myself, bike racer, hero of the marathon at Carlsbad 2009, and shot of myself and daughter Madeline in Arizona at Montezuma’s pool.

Little history of myself? Go to www.YouTube.com, search: Bill Carlson, diabetic ironman, pioneer.

Yours, Bill Carlson
