I'm an avid sports fan. Without apology, I follow the Milwaukee Bucks zealously. I'm also a big NFL fan. I particularly enjoy tracking athletes who are diabetic. Knowing the diligence required to manage diabetes, coupled with the dedication needed to compete and excel in sports' most elevated arenas is quite noteworthy and deserving of respect.If you're a sports fan, you know about all the drama surrounding Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler. If not, here's the quick backstory...
Jay is a good quarterback who had a fine season last year. Known as being both temperamental & sensitive, he led his team to a fast start, only to see their playoff hopes dashed by losing their last 4 games of the year. The coach retired, and the new coach inquired about trading for a different Q.B. Jay found out, and he's REALLY MAD.
So mad, in fact he now wants to be traded. He refuses to show up at team meetings. He's creating a huge distraction and frustrating everyone around him.
So in some ways, he's the typical diabetic!
But with ALL the DRAMA, I can't help but think the guy's blood sugars must be all over the board! Why else would he be acting this way?
So in my opinion, he just needs the pump! Think of it - stable blood sugars, moods, reduced sensitivity...ahh the joy of the insulin pump!
Come on Jay, get with the program. Join the ranks of us (increasing daily) that say,
"until next time, I'll be pumpin.."

So don't you ever stop pumping, James. I would be very upset if you started asking for a trade. Ain't going to happen. Jay Cutler could learn a lot from you. Why not do him and the Broncos a favor and ask the organization to fly you out there and help bring a resolution to this crazy situation. It could only help. Love ya, my friend.
"prime candidate"...thats funny! I heard Cutler might go to the Jets so if his blood sugars are to blame...what was Brett Farve's problem:)
