The Diabetic Series (DS) is a Mini-Power Trail for those who like to think that Caching IS About The Numbers, among other things. ? This series is in Honor of all those who have diabetes (Cachers and Muggles), who had diabetes, and in memory of those who have passed on due to complications from diabetes. It is also to raise awareness about diabetes. So, the containers in this series are well known to diabetics: Test Strip Canister.
Diabetes affects millions of Americans. Americans? What about other nationalities? The fact is diabetes can be considered an American Disease. Although there are different types of diabetes, (not just an overweight person disease) the main one is related to how Americans eat and are apathetic toward staying healthy. Our American Lifestyle tends to be “eat what you want and as much as you want and don’t worry about exercising”. This is great mentality, if you want to risk hurting yourself or even killing yourself sooner than later.
I remember when I was in grade school and had to do the Presidential Exercise Challenge (I think that was what it is called). And of course, the P.E. Classes the made us do countless sit-ups, jumping-jacks, pull-ups and push-ups. Some people (me included) could care less about doing those exercises and challenges! That is until now.
As we get older, our body gets set in its ways and declines naturally. If we haven’t taken care of our body then we are setting ourselves up for many health issues including diabetes. Luckily, there is Geocaching! Although many times caches don’t give a person the needed exercise to prevent health issues, there are some great caches out there requiring hikes and other physical challenges that make exercising FUN!
This DS Mini-Power Trail will not give you much of a workout except that you will be hopping in and out of your vehicle a lot…unless you ride a bike or walk the series. Hmm, now there’s an idea!
Either way, Happy Hunting!
This series is not accessible from I-40.
