What is it like to constantly worry about a disease that you have no control over? Not many people do, but TJ Schnurr does. TJ attended Bishop Garrigan Catholic high school in Algona, Iowa, where he grew up. TJ was a standout basketball player there, leaving the school 2nd in career points in 1st in career rebounds. He also led Bishop Garrigan to the state tournament in basketball, and was an all state tight end and shot put thrower. When TJ is not participating in athletics, he is often found worrying about his blood levels. TJ was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and has had to constantly be aware of that his whole life. He understands how hard it can be sometimes but with new technology, there is a lot to help him.
