“I don’t want to say anything too bad," Shelomi Sanders said in an Instagram Live in August 2024. "It just wasn’t good energy. It wasn’t good vibes. There wasn’t enough being poured into me as a player and young lady. If I didn’t leave when I did, I promise you I would’ve quit.”

Shelomi Sanders raises awareness through the NIL deal

Shelomi Sanders was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 13. The guard decided to raise awareness and help other patients like her when she signed an NIL deal with Dexcom U in 2024. Its wearable continuous glucose monitoring system is linked to an app and sends regular updates on her insulin levels to her parents and coaches.

Through this, she has a community of other athletes on the same health journey as her.

"I used to be so closed off. So just being able to relate to people on that type of level and to share stories and a laugh. … everything about it, it’s just amazing," Shelomi said (via People).

"I know we teach them things, but the mentees have really taught me things at the same time. Just how they carry themselves. Like, ‘Yeah, I am a diabetic and so what? This does not stop me. This does not define me.’ That was really big for me."

Shelomi and her team didn't make it to the NCAA Tournament and will instead play in the National Invitation Tournament.
