Abstract
Jennifer was angry. It had all started when they told her about the diabetes. Her body had behaved strangely for a couple of months before she actually got sick and they took her to Dr. Stein. She always had to go to the bathroom, for example. But now she felt worse, even though she knew what was wrong with her. She had to learn how to use a needle to inject herself with insulin and how to take her blood sugar count each morning. They wouldn’t let her go home from the hospital until she had learned these things. She didn’t like it at all. And now, after she had gotten sick at her friend’s birthday party, they had rushed her to the doctor’s office again.
