Ravens star Mark Andrews steps in to heroically save woman having mid-air diabetes emergency on flight from Baltimore to Phoenix

Ravens tight end Mark Andrews intervened during a southwest flight from Phoenix to Baltimore to heroically save a woman with low blood sugar, according to reports.

Andrew Springs, a Baltimore resident who was on the plane Thursday, tweeted that Andrews — a Type 1 diabetic — offered his diabetes test kit after a doctor and nurse on board had trouble finding the woman’s pulse.

‘Her blood pressure was extremely low and (she) needed oxygen to breathe. It was really scary,” he added, referring to the mid-flight medical emergency.

“A man in the aisle seat came up, ‘Could it be her blood sugar?’ I have a diabetes test kit.” It was @Ravens TE Mark Andrews.’

“Andrews instructed the medical professionals (equal civilian heroes in this story) on how to use his test kit. Eventually her heart rate stabilized.”

Springs later clarified that the woman, who was not named, was met by paramedics once the Southwest plane reached its destination.

DailyMail.com has contacted all parties, including Andrews, Springs and Southwest Airlines, for comment.

“Andrew quietly got out. No fanfare. As he has done throughout his career, he came at a huge moment when people needed him most.

“It’s truly amazing to see complete strangers take action to save someone’s life.”

To confirm the veracity of the event, the Ravens released a statement from Andrews, who applauded the medics who rushed to the woman’s cry for help.

“Besides the fast-working flight attendants, the real heroes are the nurse and doctor who happened to be on the plane,” he said through the statement.

“Fortunately, they were able to quickly get the woman the help she needed.”

Andrews was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was just nine years old, according to the UMass Chan Medical School website. He even pricks his fingers about 30 times during a match to check his blood sugar levels.

Off the field, the 28-year-old three-time Pro Bowler uses an insulin pump and wears a continuous glucose monitor, which shares his blood sugar levels with family members, his agent and the Ravens’ head coach.

At 6-foot-1 and 256 pounds, Andrews is incredibly careful with his diet due to his health condition, especially leading up to games as he needs to keep his blood sugar levels from fluctuating.

Ravens coaches provide him with separate bottles of Gatorade Zero during games and practices. The sports drink contains no sugar or carbohydrates and does not affect his blood sugar levels. When he goes low, he eats a pack or two of fruit snacks. On the rare occasion he goes high, he reconnects his pump.

Andrews, who just completed his sixth season with the Ravens — the team that drafted him as a third-round pick in 2018 — had 45 receptions for 544 yards and six touchdowns this season.

The Ravens had defeated the Houston Texans in the Divisional round earlier this month before being eliminated by the Chiefs last weekend.)
