Tim's story

I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was 12 years old and I thought my days of playing sports were over, I knew nothing about the disease except for the type 2 ads I had seen. Through the ups and downs I went on to captain my football,basketball, and lacrosse teams in high school. I was recruited to play lacrosse at Connecticut College which plays in the NESCAC, one of the most competitive conferences in the nation. Being a full time athlete and student comes with some frustrating blood sugar numbers from time to time but my A1C is sub 7 and I have been honored as a 2x captain of my team.
