SALT LAKE CITY ? When Chad Coates makes the drive from Twin Falls, Idaho to University hospital, it's a tough drive in many ways.
"I hate being poked and prodded," Coates said.
But as much as Coates hates the doctor visits, it's better than the alternative.
"I know that if I don't, I won't be here for my family," he said, thinking of his three teenage kids and wife back home.
Coates had been living with Type 1 diabetes since he was 12 years old.
"Have a needle shoved in my arm 4 times a week," Coates described his routine insulin shots to stay alive.
