Christian’s Story

I was diagnosed with T1D when I was 14 years old. I was able to graduate this year after 4 years of college volleyball. After being hospitalized my first year playing volleyball at Concordia due to diabetes issues and playing at that level I battled through and didn’t give up on the dream. I then played 3 more years at Vanguard University and I’m so thankful I never gave up. I hope this inspires T1 diabetics to never give up on their dream and that your body can do so much more than you think it can.
