At Friday's event, Andrews said he's just happy to help others overcome the same issues he's had to endure.
"We're able to get around each other, have a good time, share our stories, what we've been through, and be able to relate to one another. I think it's so awesome and I think everyone out here is having a great time and again I got so much respect. I'm getting a lot of joy from being here with these guys," said Andrews.
Andrews has had type one diabetes since he was nine years old and he has used his platform as an NFL tight end to talk about the disease.
