ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Jay Cutler's blood sugars are down, his spirits are up and his fastball is back.
The Denver Broncos' third-year quarterback said Wednesday during the team's passing camp that he feels like his old, strong self and a new man now that he's got his Type 1 diabetes under control thanks to an insulin pump and a change in his diet.
The former Vanderbilt quarterback lost 35 pounds and some zip on his frozen rope throws last season but didn't heed the warning signs, including constant fatigue, unexplained weight loss, extreme thirst and frequent urination, until team medical personnel noticed a high blood-sugar reading in routine tests in March and sent him to a diabetes specialist.
Eight weeks later, "I've got everything back," Cutler said.
