Episode 123: Letter To Troy

Troy thought he was just getting tired from football, but it turns out it was Type 1 diabetes changing everything. Troy was 13, playing at Bristol City, when he suddenly couldn’t run, couldn’t eat, and couldn’t ignore the signs anymore. What looked like “just growing up” was actually a life changing diagnosis. Troy was on the edge of a diabetic coma before his dad pushed him to the hospital.
From learning through trial and error to continuing his professional football career, becoming a PE teacher, and building a life rooted in community, Troy refused to let diabetes define him. His story is a reminder that diabetes isn’t just medical but it’s mental, emotional, and personal. Seeing someone who looks like you can make all the difference.
