Iron Woman Diane has completed three full Ironman triathlons, numerous marathons and many cycling events, such as the New England Tour De Cure where My Body Odyssey first met her. 

One day, though, Diane drinks some juice before a yoga class and “next thing you know I’m inside an ambulance.”

Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels is a balancing act for many millions of Americans with diabetes, especially those with Type 1 or juvenile diabetes, like Diane.  

This episode features expert commentary from Dr. Michael Riddell of York University, one of the world's true experts on diabetes and exercise, who also advises world class athletes like the NHL’s Max Domi on diabetes management.  

If Maxi Domi routinely handles the intensity of pro hockey shifts, and Diane has conquered 13-hour triathlons, how did a simple yoga class land her in the emergency room? 

Listen in to find out on “Iron Woman Diane: The Rewards & Challenges of Exercise With Diabetes,” the second full episode of My Body Odyssey, a Fluent Knowledge production.
