Ask the Athletes
We can all be athletes. It just depends on how you define the word "athlete". DESA’s philosophy is that it is all about being "physically active". So whether you are walking in your neighborhood or local park; exercising in your home or at your local YMCA or fitness club; or you are competing in or participating in a sport; you are an athlete.
Our goal with "Ask the Athlete" is to provide information to you from active individuals who have valuable experience and information to share with you about having diabetes and being physically active.
Scan the list below to see if what or who you are looking for is included here. If you do not find what you are looking for, submit a "Request for Information" right here on the web site and we will get back with you ASAP.
