Caleb’s Story

Hey guys! My name is Caleb Fauria and I got diagnosed with diabetes in 2019 as a junior in high school after undergoing knee surgery. A few weeks later I didn’t feel like myself and started to notice my weight dropping, vision becoming blurry, and constantly having to use the restroom. After getting tested I got rushed to Mass General Hospital in Boston Massachusetts where doctors and nurses started teaching me how to keep myself alive using insulin and giving me a crash course on diabetes as a whole.

I also am a Division 1 college football player who has a busy schedule with practice, lifts, meetings, and classes. Managing my glucose levels can be challenging at some points but I would encourage everyone living with this to not give up and take it day by day. A major that I use is the @dexcom to help me monitor and track my glucose levels throughout the days!
