On Thursday, Shelomi decided to air her chatbox laundry in front of her followers, highlighting some distasteful comments from trolls speaking ill about her type 1 diabetes condition.<\/p>\n<p>Shelomi has uploaded several photos on social media where she has flaunted the device she wears on her biceps and on her thigh, which helps monitor her diabetes. She reposted a comment from a fan, who also claims to have diabetes and asked Shelomi that she doesn\u2019t need to flaunt the device and potentially gain sympathy from the world.<\/p>\n<p>In reply, Shelomi penned a long message as she hit back at that follower of hers. She wrote:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just had to post this because old, old Shelomi would\u2019ve taken this to heart and been hurt and gone into a shell but child, let me make this crystal clear!!! I wear my devices proudly, especially after all the mental and physical battles I\u2019ve been through dealing with T1D. If my iDevices make you \u201cuncomfortable,\u201d pleaseeee just ask yourself how much you think I care lol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s your problem, not mine. Representation matters more than ever to me now because I wish there was someone I could look up to when I first got diagnosed at 13. I\u2019m not going to hide or feel shame for MY reality to fit YOUR comfort if you don\u2019t like it.

She experienced several symptoms like extreme thirst, exhaustion, and weight loss, which were initially thought to be because of her workout.<\/p>\n<p>However, an emergency trip to the hospital revealed that her blood sugar level was over 600, as Shelomi got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. In this condition, the body doesn\u2019t produce enough insulin to regulate and control blood sugar.<\/p>\n<p>Being a college basketball player, Shelomi uses technology like Dexcom to monitor her blood sugar levels. The Alabama A&amp;M college basketball player has since used her platform to share her experiences about the condition. With the help of the Dexcom U NIL Ambassador program, she also helps young athletes learn how to manage this condition without affecting their playing careers.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/deion-sanders-daughter-shelomi-recalls-221748113.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Shelomi, who was initially embarrassed<\/a> about the situation, has now accepted the state of her health and is now educating others going through something similar.<\/p>\n<p>College Sports Network has you covered with the latest news, analysis, insights, and trending stories in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/football\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/football\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1754743330915000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3yTs_OOieIuCKaadXLSFWM\">college football<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/mens-college-basketball\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/mens-college-basketball\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1754743330915000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2Jg4XpoeCRayEJH-hQOSC9\">men\u2019s college basketball<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/womens-college-basketball\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/womens-college-basketball\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1754743330915000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0NeIMYOrmtOmA3Lc7KVqVD\">women\u2019s college basketball<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/college-baseball\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/college-baseball\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1754743330915000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3rPoSBEs6EiWBG_NUsdqFP\">college baseball<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Deion Sanders\u2019 youngest daughter Shelomi Sanders has evolved and she will no longer take it worse from her&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":129131,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[1339,1317,1337,1338,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-129130","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-basketball","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-ncaa","10":"tag-ncaa-basketball","11":"tag-ncaabasketball","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114993353458898998","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129130"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129130\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
