Oh that Peyton Manning… he’s quite the card. Apparently he was horsing around and doing some “ProBowl pranks.” He had poor Jay Cutler surrounded by Nick Mangold and Kris Dielman (in excess of 300 pounds EACH). They picked up Cutler and dumped him in the pool.
Manning saved Cutler’s cell phone, but didn’t realize he had his blood sugar monitor on him. Dielman said, “That was a prank where I thought we were smart enough to get the cellphone out of his pocket. But then, ‘Oops.’ ”

I’m always interested in athletes with diabetes, aren’t you? It seems that much more difficult to manage diabetes when you are always pushing your body to the limit.
But many athletes, like Denver Broncos Quarterback Jay Cutler, manage just fine thank you very much. Cutler checks his blood up to six times each game (which generally lasts about three hours.)
He was apparently diagnosed “last spring just before his 25th birthday” and keeps Gatorade on hand to raise his blood sugar if he drops too low. Or if he gets too high, he takes insulin.
