| Sean, I know the 'old vanity at the swimming trick' applies to everyone. Even though I don't swim I have many scars from sports and they show up white all the time. What would worry me more is the hypos. I hope you let everyone know that you are diabetic and give them advise on what to do should you become comatose. You say you were hypo an hour before one of your swims. In a situation like that always make sure you check you bs before you start your swim. The swimming will lower you bs so make sure you get enough glucose into beforehand. You don't say for how long these exercises last or how often you check your bs. When exercising, until such time as you have determined what proceedure is best for you, check your BS frequently and then you will be in a position to do something prior to anything serious happening and avoid the hypos. Hypos would be very serious particularly if you are in the water. Check, check, check and check some more. Good luck with the swimming.
