Maddie was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. She's nervous about managing her disease and telling others. But as she goes back to school, plays soccer, and spends time with her friends, she becomes more comfortable and confident talking about her health. A sensitive story that's a great introduction to understanding diabetes for anyone who has the disease or knows someone who does.
Both reassuring for those with diabetes and educational for those around them.
