An uneven season for Georgetown men's basketball got more difficult, as Austin Freeman was diagnosed with diabetes. I feel terrible for AF and the team, and hope they can rally around their best player.
Admittedly, I know little about diabetes, and considered it to be a disease brought on by age. I know it comes in various forms, and Type 2 is brought on by obesity. It can afflict anyone (AF, jay Cutler).
Regardless of the outcome of the Georgetown season, I'd like to see AF and John Thompson III bring awareness to the disease. Georgetown needs to create an awareness platform, and seek to educate area residents on the symptoms, in the hopes of early detection.
