Hey Kevin, been through it with my insulin dependent brother a number of times, attacks hospital after hospital the whole thing. He's had it a good long while too, since he was 16 and he's now 36.
The worst was when he switched to what ever he was using before, pig insulin I guess to the Humilin stuff. Know he's very active, fit and competes in canoe (olympic style canoes not back wood canoes). The diet is the key, as is measurement plus making sure those around you know what to do but I am sure you've taken care of that already not to mention making sure Lindsey knows what the signs are too.
In a more general sense now that I am fit and healthy again I can attest to the benifits of taking care of oneself. (Now 185lbs from 235 and in same shape I was when I left the Navy a dozen years ago.) Its always worth doing and it doesnt have to be in an extreme "go to gym 8 days a week" thing either, far from.
