Creighton's Isaac Traudt monitors his glucose on the court to play college basketball with diabetes

Basketball coach Christopher Bess joined 'Fox & Friends' with his father, Reginald, to discuss how he became an internet sensation and how the players have reacted to his coaching. 

When Creighton basketball player Isaac Traudt's teammates take a break at practice, they might grab a drink of water, chat it up or go over assignments.

Traudt does that, too, but not before he checks a device attached to his body that tells him his blood glucose level. Depending on what it says, he might need to grab some energy chews for a sugar bump. The routine is the same at halftime of games.

"I don't think I've ever seen anybody put down a packet of chews faster than Isaac," athletic trainer Ben McNair said. "He can probably put a pack of those down in 10 to 15 seconds."

Traudt was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes 16 years ago, at age 4, and he's never let it stop him from pursuing the sport he loves. He will be with the Bluejays on Thursday when they open the NCAA Tournament against Akron in Pittsburgh.

The 6-foot-10, 235-pound forward grew up in Grand Island, 130 miles west of Omaha, and was a two-time all-state player and Nebraska high school player of the year in 2022. He spent his first college season at Virginia, sitting out as a redshirt, and announced his transfer to Creighton last March.

Traudt has appeared in 28 of the Bluejays' 32 games, averaging just under 10 minutes per game and shooting 43.6% on 3-pointers. He started two games early in the season, and made five 3s and scored a season-high 18 points off the bench against Central Michigan.
