"Making sure everything is working together" is his biggest obstacle. "Sports activities like swimming and rugby... when I'm doing those, it's kind of hard with diabetes. I have to make sure I'm constantly watching myself and getting out of the pool to check my blood-sugar level," said Williams. "I can't take insulin when I'm in the pool. I do a lot of other activities, as well. It's kind of a balancing act." Williams' father, Scott, a member of JDRF's national board of directors, said most days go well for his son, but occasionally there is a day that goes "really badly." "On those days, it's really tough because there might be a (situation) where his insulin will fail, his blood sugar will shoot up and he will be really sick," said Scott. "Stress, activity, environment, weather, if it's hot or cold, all impacts how your body takes the insulin. It's pretty complicated." Scott said JDRF is the largest independent, private funder of T1D research globally. It "really strives to support the best research across the world." Williams said getting additional government support is critical because research is moving forward "quite quickly" and needs continuous funding.

"They're (researchers) making giant leaps forward, in both treatment and prevention. They're getting a lot closer to coming up with a cure. There is some really promising research right now," said Williams. "It's important we keep the momentum going and get the federal funding we need to keep pushing it forward."
