Georgetown Hoyas Freeman diagnosed with diabetes
March 4, 2010Georgetown’s University basketball team’s leading scorer, junior guard Austin Freeman, has developed diabetes.
“It’s just something I’m going to have to deal with,” said Freeman, 20, who received the diagnosis soon after he was taken to the hospital’s emergency room Monday. “It’s going to be a certain change in my diet and my life. But I know I can deal with it. I’ll be fine….Having the success they [high level athletes with diabetes] have had just shows that diabetics can still do what they have to do,” said Freeman, a McDonald’s all-American and All-Met Player of the Year at DeMatha. — Washington Post, Thursday, March 4, 2010
