Luka is just your average kid. He lives with his mom, and he has a teddy bear named Blue. But Luka is also a superhero. Luka has Type 1 Diabetes. According to his mom, living with Type 1 Diabetes every day makes him a superhero. But how did it all start? How did he find out he has Type 1 Diabetes? This story explains the signs and symptoms leading up to Luka’s diagnosis from a kid’s point of view, and mom throws in some info for the grown-ups along the way!
