Sugar Was My Best Food: Diabetes and Me

Description

Diabetes brought big changes for 11-year-old Adair and his family. He learned to prick himself to test his blood-sugar level and got used to two insulin shots a day. For a while he was too weak to run track or ride his bike. He often felt lonely and weird, different from the other kids. Worst of all, he could hardly ever eat candy, his “best” food. A true story about a boy who has learned to manage his illness and continues to do the things he loves.
