    As a type 1 diabetic who tried to play competitive tennis I can understand how hard it is for Sasha to perform at such a high level.
    He is nothing short of an hero

      Exactly, I also have type 1, I don't write in reddit or anything because people there is pretty...arrogant. Those thinking that it's easy to manage diabetes type1 are deluded, is so exhausting and frustating. I práctice surf and it's pretty complicated and sometimes scary, what this guy does it's basically hero-level.

    So inspiring. I had no idea either, had only heard of an NBA player here or a football player there. I'm 2 decades older and have spent my life hiding in bathrooms to take my insulin, going too low or too high for fear of bothering people...
    So I can only admire his courage for coming out, and his generosity for contributing to raising awareness. Thanks to this great champion on behalf of all future generations afflicted by this chronic disease!

      There are several top level NCAA tennis players who have T1D, they also don't talk about. At least two I saw have tubing for insulin pumps. With the advances of pumps and CGMs that communicate with each other, it's no longer a disease that prohibits high level competitiveness.

    Sasha should oppose the late matches. Now I know why he expressed his concern about late match ending at 4 am at Acapulco last yr. This is not fair for any human being let alone a type 1 Diabetic with strenuous physical game. No wonder he lost the next match. I can totally relate what he is going through.

    Really appreciate this video, which gives out hope to several people and children who live with Type 1 Diabetes. Just one request - kindly do not use the words 'suffering from' Type 1 diabetes, as you have in the description. This gives out a very negative vibe, especially to impressionable kids who might read it. The only reason kids with Type 1 would 'suffer', would be if they had lack of insulin, testing supplies or healthcare. Type 1 per se is not what's making them 'suffer'. Kids with Type 1 can and ARE thriving with the condition...Alexander Zverev being a prime example of this. Thanks 🙏

      Do you have diabetes type1? It's a horrible disease, that it's never "managed" to the point of you being or feeling normal, for longer than a day. Sugar stability it's almost impossible to keep for most of us.

      @@parinaaz_musicislife I also have ADHD which makes everything more complicated but I cannot use ADHD medication cause It drains my energy too much. I research about diabetes type1, I won't just wait for whoever to solve It. What most people know about diabetes type1 is oversimplified if not completely wrong. To begin with, the autoinmune reaction it's not the cause of It, but a reaction of the body to some dysfunction in beta-cells, it's not beta cells whom are responsible but Alpha cells, alpha cells are the ones totally dysfunctional and they "rule" over beta cells, so they give wrong signals and dedifferentiate beta cells wrongly. It's a long story, but the official story is like a child's drawing compared to the real thing.

    Hmmmm... he might be another case where it's a good thing that he's told that he couldn't do something. Some people just find it as motivation to push themselves and prove the naysayers wrong. I still recall Federer's story where a coach told him, I think, that he couldn't be good, or wasn't talented. Something that irked him. What did Federer do? Everyday, practice hitting a thousand balls.
    Point is, sometimes it's a good thing to tell someone that they can't do something and similar. People can be motivated by something like that. It depends on how well you know the person, if you want to try such a tactic.
