29 岁的德国网球运动员亚历山大·兹维列夫（Alexander Zverev）正在利用其在温布尔登锦标赛进入决赛的优异成绩，提高公众对 1 型糖尿病的认识 [1]。兹维列夫在 4 岁时被确诊患有该疾病 [1]。在比赛期间，他需要监测血糖水平并注射胰岛素以维持身体机能 [1]。为了纠正低血糖状况，他曾摄入过高达 350 克的糖凝胶 [1]。尽管曾在热身赛中因血糖传感器故障导致误判而输掉比赛，但他仍肯定该设备对患者的价值 [1]。兹维列夫表示：“如果我们的基金会能帮到一个孩子或父母，我会是世界上最幸福的人”[1]。
Wimbledon finalist Alexander Zverev is leveraging his professional achievements to increase public understanding of type 1 diabetes [1]. The 29-year-old German tennis player was diagnosed with the condition at age four and manages it during matches by injecting insulin into the top of his thigh [1]. During competition, he monitors his blood sugar levels and has been known to consume up to 350 grams of glucose gel to correct low blood sugar if necessary [1]. Zverev previously lost a warm-up match due to an error caused by a malfunctioning blood glucose sensor, yet he maintains that such devices remain valuable for patients despite the risk of misreading data during critical moments [1]. He expressed his dedication to advocacy with the statement: "If our foundation can help one child or parent, I would be the happiest person in the world" [1]. The report also notes other famous athletes who live with diabetes and provides general facts regarding the disease [1].
