Football didn't become Andrews' focus until high school, when he was a lanky wide receiver in a suburb of Phoenix, carrying a drawstring "diabetes bag" filled with snacks and other supplies that help him check and maintain his blood sugar levels during every game. Andrews still carries one of those drawstring bags with him now, as a second-year player with the Ravens, though managing his blood sugar has gotten a bit easier thanks to technological advances. He wears a continuous glucose monitor that gives him real-time information on his phone about his blood sugar levels — and shares it automatically through an app with family members, his agent and Ravens head trainer Ron Medlin.
The 6-foot-5, pounder also keeps a relatively strict diet, especially leading up to games, to keep his blood sugar from fluctuating. He has four eggs before every game, and two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches — one the day he plays, and one the night before. During games, and while at practice, the training staff fills separate bottles for Andrews with Gatorade Zero — which has no sugar or carbs, and therefore doesn't affect his blood sugar levels.
If those levels get too low at any point, he'll eat a pack or two of fruit snacks for a quick jolt. If they get too high, which is rare, he'll have to reconnect his insulin pump.
