dailyloe.com – San Diego Padres pitcher Mason Miller announced a new partnership with Dexcom on May 15, 2026. This news comes as the Padres remain competitive in the National League playoff race, holding a record of 25-18. They are just half a game behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West standings.
Miller, 27, is having a remarkable season with a 0.92 ERA and 18.3 strikeouts per nine innings. His impressive performance has him in discussions for the NL Cy Young award, aiming to be the first reliever to win since Éric Gagné in 2003.
The standout closer shared his new partnership with Dexcom through an emotional Instagram video. In the video, he detailed his journey from being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes to becoming a dominant player in Major League Baseball.
Miller’s diabetes symptoms began during his sophomore year at Waynesburg University. After a drug test for an internship revealed high blood sugar levels, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the emergency room.
Before his diagnosis, Miller experienced severe fatigue and lost over 20 pounds. With the help of his Dexcom device, he learned to manage his condition while continuing to excel as a pitcher.
The Padres are set to begin a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners on Friday night. Miller’s performance and partnership highlight his journey and resilience in the face of challenges.
