Even Superheroes Get Diabetes — Sue Ganz-Schmitt

Kelvin is an imaginative boy who loves being a superhero. One day, his fantasies are stopped by the reality of getting diabetes.  That means finger pricks, shots, and lots of doctor's appointments. Just when Kelvin can't take one more medical visit,  a mysterious doctor uncovers that Kelvin has real superpowers.   Now he needs to learn how to use them!  The comic book style illustrations by Micah Chambers-Goldberg beautifully connects children and parents to the world of diabetes. The book includes a kid friendly diagram that explains type 1 diabetes, and definitions that discuss both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.  Even Superheroes Get Diabetes is a powerful educational tool for doctors, parents, kids, and librarians.
