Jeffery’s Story

Hi, my name is Jeffery Scott. I am from Forest, Indiana and I have been a diabetic for 4 years this coming New Years Eve! I was a 3 sport athlete in high school and got somewhat sick towards the holidays. I suffered from all the symptoms of Type 1 diabetes and end up having to be rushed to the hospital on New Years Eve of 2013 with a blood glucose of nearly 700. I am now 22 years old and playing Division I Baseball at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio! It has been tough with being diagnosed right before I left for college. I have basically had to learn on the go! I’m also still learning a lot and making some great connections through diabetes, which I would have never though I’d be able to do! I just want to let people know that diabetes does not stop me from chasing my dreams, so it definitely should not stop you!
