All-star teams gather together the best athletes in their respective sports, but one college all-star team has the unique distinction of bringing together top-notch athletes all united by diabetes.

Dexcom, makers of the popular glucose biosensing devices, recently unveiled the roster for its fourth season of the Dexcom U NIL program.

Announced just prior to the start of the fall college athletes season, all of the participating athletes live with type 1 diabetes.

The only NIL program with this particular healthcare focus welcomes 13 new athletes and eight returning team members across 12 sports — ranging from football to basketball, lacrosse, track and field, soccer as well as others.

The NIL program — short for name, image and likeness — is an extension of Dexcom’s Warriors program, a global community of over 25,000 everyday people and celebrities — including Lance Bass, Patti LaBelle and Nick Jonas — who juggle their diabetes along with all of life’s challenges thanks to the company’s continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

Dexcom U gives select college athletes living with diabetes a platform to raise awareness, to drive education and to share their stories in a compelling way.

Since the beginning, Dexcom has been intentional about how the program has come together, according to Leverne Marsh, the company’s EVP of global marketing.

Since 2022, the company has sponsored more than 40 college athletes across 19 different sports through its NIL program.

“It’s the idea of inclusion and giving young people a platform to showcase that you can reach athletic excellence living with diabetes and providing those opportunities for them to share their stories and inspire,” Marsh says.

Dexcom found its latest Dexcom U athletes through an open call through its social channels and platforms, she notes, as well as through its different advocacy partners.

Then, the company asked friends, family, coaches and community members to submit college athletes who are living with diabetes, who are passionate about being role models and educating about diabetes.

The athletes sign on for a year and help spread the news about glucose monitoring through Dexcom.

To officially welcome the newly selected Dexcom U athletes, Dexcom hosted its first Signing Day Camp in July.

Held in Baltimore, the event was emceed by Mark Andrews, a Baltimore Ravens tight end and Dexcom Warrior, who relies on Dexcom G7.

He was joined by Mike Golic Sr., an NFL veteran and sports broadcaster, who uses Stelo — Dexcom’s over-the-counter glucose biosensor — to manage his type 2 diabetes.

Andrews said it was inspiring to witness athletes of all ages come together at the Dexcom U Signing Day Camp to show what is possible while living with diabetes.

“I know how impactful it would have been to have a support system like this in the early stages of my career, so for me, getting to be the role model I never had is really special,” he added.

While focused on the active college players, the day brought together athletes with diabetes across all levels, including pro and youth sports, to redefine what’s possible with diabetes.

Both new and returning Dexcom U team members connected with Baltimore youth athletes and reiterated the importance of utilizing health products to manage their condition and enjoy fulfilling lives.

Marsh notes that Dexcom U athletes have access to the company’s CGMs as well as exclusive events and platforms where they can share their stories, along with a network of collegiate and professional athletes, like Andrews and Golic, to gain insights.

“How amazing it was to see six-to-12 year-olds look up to 18-to-20 year-olds who look up to professional athletes like Mark and Mike,” Marsh says. “It was really inspirational and provided another opportunity, another platform for us to, through different media, create awareness around the country.”

This year’s new Dexcom U athletes are:

Ali Ramadan, Soccer, Creighton University
Anya Tribune, Soccer, Gardner-Webb University
Ari Long, Basketball, University of Oregon
Breanna Corral-Vargas, Acrobatics & Tumbling, Hawaii Pacific University
Clarke Byram, Track & Field, Pole Vault, University of Tennessee, Knoxville

HCG: Accelerating the impact of your science

In a world where healthcare is moving fast, HCG is moving faster. Always ahead of the curve, HCG is spearheading the charge to turn scientific potential into real-world impact.

The song grew faint and louder again, then ceased, and she took her hand off his arm. "By-and-by the Tartars did come in reality, and the signal was sent out again. But this time no army came, nor did a single general turn his face to Pekin. The city fell into the hands of the invaders, and they are there to-day. So much for what a woman did; but it sounds too much like the story of 'The Boy and the Wolf' to be true. I stood equally amazed and alert. The voices still growled in the next room, and my horse's bridle still hung before the window. I peered out; there stood the priceless beast. I came a sly step nearer, and lo! in his shadow, flattened against the house, face outward, was Coralie Rothvelt comically holding the forked stick at a present-arms. Throbbing with a grateful, craving allegiance, I seized the rein. Then I bent low out the window and with my free hand touched her face as it turned upward into a beam of moonlight. She pressed my fingers to her lips, and then let me draw her hand as far as it could come and cover it with kisses. Then she drew me down and whispered "You'll do what I've asked?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:�� "Meanwhile the clouds were gathering around you. Prout finds your husband's brother by a happy chance. Once he has done this, things become easy for us. The more easy they become for us the more desperate they grow for you. Then you decide that you must recover those notes from Isidore. You take out your motor car, so cunningly disguised in blacklead----" it makes the fourth time. No doubt about it, Daddy, goods are not High in the air, in the first mausoleum, at the head and foot of the white marble cenotaph, covered with letters that look like creepers, are tablets bearing inscriptions which record the life of the hero; and above the sarcophagus rises an almost impossibly light and airy structure��a canopy of white marble supported on columns as slender as flower-stems. And the Indian may be trusted to know of these. Here where the jacales clustered, there was grass and wood and water that might last indefinitely. The fortifications of Nature had been added to those of Nature's man. It was a stronghold. "Certainly," said the Surgeon, stopping on his way. "I guess I can spare a minute. Take off that bandage, my boy." MRS. GORDON: Not those poor things. They're slaves. He left the post with a great oath in his heart, and a thin trickle of blood on his chin. That summer old Mrs. Backfield became completely bedridden. The gratefulness of sunshine to her old bones was counteracted by the clammy fogs that streamed up every night round the farm. It was an exceptionally wet and misty summer��a great deal of Reuben's wheat rotted in the ground, and he scarcely took any notice when Tilly announced one morning that grandmother was too ill to come downstairs. Merritt presently departed; and at eight the two confederates again met. Soon a compact and resolute body of more than twenty men slowly and cautiously proceeded to the castle, and, in double file, ensconced themselves close to the walls, and so contiguous to the gate of usual egress as to be ready to rush in at the first opening. They had stood thus, scarcely drawing breath, for about half an hour; and Merritt, who, with the smith, was at the head of the little band, was about to propose that they should attempt to force an entrance, when the gate opened, and John Byles, who had been engaged upon some business with Calverley, unsuspectingly issued forth.
