Jordan Morris can’t escape, no matter how much he’d sometimes like to.
Reminders are incessant. Every five minutes, from early in the morning until late at night, the Sounders rookie feels an all-too-familiar buzz in his pocket.
Every five minutes, the glucose monitor on his hip sends a blood-sugar update to his phone. Every five minutes, he receives yet another reminder of the affliction he’s dealt with since he was a boy.
Morris, the front-runner for Major League Soccer’s Rookie of the Year award, has type-1 diabetes.
It’s an annoyance, the Mercer Island native will allow.
