3 | Type 1 Diabetes and Vampire Stories
16-year-old Lucy Szabo has a theory: hundreds of years ago, before the discovery of insulin, slowly dying diabetics were the original “vampires.” Lucy, living with diabetes herself, counts herself among the modern Undead. Lucy frequents the Transylvania room, an internet chatroom where so-called vampires gather to discuss all things goth. But Draco, one of the other visitors to Transylvania, claims to be a real vampire–and Lucy’s not entirely sure he’s kidding. Sweetblood, by Pete Hautman, is a uniquely “reality-based” vampire novel about a smart, troubled teen struggling to find herself in the face of her chronic disease.
4 | Getting Tips about Type 1 Diabetes Management
As Gary Scheiner himself says it “there are two ways diabetes can ruin your life. You can ignore it, let it run amok, and have blood sugars that are all over the place. Or… you can obsess over it and let it take over your every waking minute.” With Think Like a Pancreas, you’ll learn the perfect balance between the two, with practical tips, and a bit of humour.
