Becky has diabetes, but it doesn't stop her from leading an active life. She and her friend Francesca like playing with their scooters in the park. Becky explains how she tests her blood sugar levels and about her twice-daily injections, and we also learn about her dietary needs. While there are limitations to what she can eat, she has adjusted well to her routine. The photographs, while staged, are interesting and helpful, and the fact that Becky and her family are real people adds to the positive ethos. A good introduction to what it is like to live with diabetes. The usual index, glossary and list of helpful organisations will make the book useful in schools.
