Ruby's Daddy Has Diabetes

"e;Because of his dia-bee-teez, my daddy has to take special medicine called insulin.

He takes the insulin by giving himself a shot in the stomach five times every day.

I push the button to give him the medicine sometimes.

I don't like shots. When I was little, I got four shots at the doctor's office.

I tried not to cry, but the last one hurt really bad, and I cried a little.

Daddy never cries when he gets a shot."e;Ruby tells the story of living with a parent with diabetes and challenges her family faces.
