Summary

7-year old Max has type 1 diabetes. In fact, everyone in Beta Town has, but that’s what makes Beta Town so cool. One day, while guarding the insulin cube against the dastardly King Carb’s plans to steal it, Max gains superpowers from a top secret insulin pump and turns him into Beta Town’s very own superhero, Captain Lantus.
