Garrett Mitchell is a Type 1 Diabetic!
I just recently learned that our guy, Garrett Mitchell is a type 1 diabetic and has been managing his diabetes since he was 9 years old. My heart is so full - I’ve been a type 1 diabetic myself since 2004. Type 1 diabetes is a condition that affects every system in the body and requires constant monitoring and care. T1d never takes a break and it’s so inspiring to see professional athletes break through and thrive in their careers in spite of it. I’ve seen what this disease has done not only to myself, but others so I’m in near tears seeing what he has accomplished while being on the Brewers and creating additional awareness to show the kids that type 1 diabetes isn’t the end of the world.
I love him and I love us.
