This should be interesting with the condition he has. I know that people go into a lathergic state if there isnt enough carbs to counteract the insulin they take. I am sure there would be a quick lawsuit if he got hurt bad because of that happening. I wonder how many D1 football players there are that are type 1 diabetics. Maybe its not that uncommon?

It’s more than just a lethargic state. If he is type one, low blood sugar can lead to a coma and death quickly. It’s an idiotic lawsuit, not only that physical activity causes your blood sugar to drop more rapidly

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.

whatever the real story is, he wasn't held out of practices and games and not allowed to travel because he is diabetic.
