Question: From Indianapolis, Indiana, USA: As you know, November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and we found a local student who was willing to write a very upbeat piece about how having diabetes has not prevented her from participating in sports. Then I had this idea: it would be nice to list some names of professional athletes who have diabetes. I was told that one of the Indianapolis Colts [American football team] is a diabetic. I'm sure there are others, but I don't know where to get the information. Any leads you could send my way would be very much appreciated. Answer: Here are some American sports figures with diabetes: Chris Dudley, basketball, active Catfish Hunter, pitcher, baseball, retired Jonathan Hayes, American Football, Tight End, Pittsburgh Steelers, active Jay Leeuwenburg, American Football, Indianapolis Costs, active Bill Gullickson, pitcher Bobby Clark, hockey, retired Bill Talbott, tennis, retired Most of these athletes have had stories about them in Diabetes Forecast (call the American Diabetes Association at 800-ADA-DISC for more information). Also, check with The International Diabetic Athletes Association. Their address is: 1647-B West Bethany Home Road Phoenix, AZ 85015 (800) 898-IDAA (602) 433-2113 (602) 433-9331 Fax Paula Harper, President WWQ SS JSH Original posting 25 Oct 96
