About Lowe...

Mark Lowe ('05) is the subject of this profile piece in the Seattle Times today.

Dealing with diabetes on the mound has been a learning process Mark Lowe feels he finally has under control. Lowe began taking insulin shots...

Lowe began taking insulin shots several times daily earlier this year when he was unable to fully control the weight loss and energy crashes he experienced from Type 2 adult onset diabetes. The pitcher now says he feels a lot better and is able to fully compete. He wants to share his experiences with others, especially young children, who may also be struggling with the condition.

And Lowe is in a position to do just that. He has been nominated by his teammates as the Mariners' finalist for the Marvin Miller Man of the Year Award, given annually by the players association to the player whose on- and off-field performance inspires others to high level of achievement.

"I think it's always an honor to give back to the community," Lowe said. "That's just the way I was raised."
