Surviving the shot: A diabetic?s journey

[Northerner]

Rick Mystrom is a name most long-time Alaskans will recognize. Alaskan surveyor, Anchorage Assemblyman and mayor, and a driving force behind Alaska?s bid to host the 1992 and 1994 Olympic Games. He has lived in Alaska most of his life, and enjoyed all aspects the state offers ? an active, outdoor life, family and successful businesses. What people may not know about Mystrom is that he is a Type I diabetic, dependent on regular doses of insulin. But that hasn?t stopped him from global travel or participating in sports or living a full life. He chronicles that life, and how he has managed his diabetes through the years, in ?My Wonderful Life with Diabetes.?
