Special Wellness Edition:
Type 1 Diabetes Awareness
When women’s lacrosse midfielder Kayla Gilmore was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in high school, she thought she might have to stop playing. Instead, she learned to manage T1D — and she’s still out there competing for Maryland.
Learn the signs and symptoms of diabetes and watch a video about Kayla’s story — then come support Kayla and team this Saturday as they take on James Madison while raising awareness for Type 1 diabetes.
🐢 ONE BIG THING
🔼 From Everywhere To Maryland! Maryland men’s basketball senior Collin Metcalf was molded by a military family, an eye for genuineness, and a second sport.
