Former Utah player suing Utah for discrimination over being held out of practice and games

Yep I was thinking how practices are would be a big risk.

Thanks chief I deal with diabetes on a daily basis because my wife is Type one and I work in a hospital. Insulin pumps are far from infallible and have to be updated frequently to be remotely accurate. Type one diabetics go into diabetic comas quite frequently genius

you need diabetes education so you don't sound so ignorant. people with type 1 DM do physical activity literally all the time and it's why insulin pumps are a thing.

Get off the horse dude you're not the only person on earth with diabetes.

For starters, is the coach doing this in a vacuum or is it just an article framing the coach, who may be perfectly justified in his decisions based on the player's medical history (which is private and wouldn't be disclosed in an article).

CGMs often come off from sweat, it's definitely coming off if someone hits you into next week. There's also the effects of the game itself - adrenaline is going to be high (spiking your sugar) and also low (you're exerting yourself to a huge degree) and it's difficult to keep track unless you have your CGM.

I'm a type 1 former cardio athlete & I pretty much cut out anything over 90-120 minutes due to the difficulties fueling. I'm sure the BYU medical staff does a better job of that, but there is probably a lot going on that we're not going to hear in an article
