Crescenta Valley pitcher Colin Moore has learned how to handle his Type 1 diabetes while developing into an ace on the mound.
There are important things teenage athletes never forget when leaving home. Cellphone. Wallet. Bottle of water. For Colin Moore, a junior pitcher at Crescenta Valley High with Type 1 diabetes, he has another must-have item. “I keep a jar of Skittles in my baseball bag every game,” he said. That’s his emergency go-to item if his blood sugar level becomes too low. He wears a glucose monitor and insulin pump on his arm. He monitors everything via his cellphone.
Moore has to monitor what works to maintain blood sugar consistency. 'It's the fuel for all of us,' Padula said. 'He has to maintain it externally.' Athletes playing with Type 1 diabetes is nothing new. Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell, who attended Orange Lutheran High and UCLA, has been playing since he was diagnosed at 9. Moore said getting in better shape has been important for his health and baseball development. “I put in extra work,” he said.
