At the age of nine, Andie Dominick was thrust into a world full of schedules, rules and needles. Her twenty-one-year-old sister Denise, also a diabetic, gave Andie the love, guidance and honesty necessary to adapt to an illness that she was still too young to understand. But in 1993, after spending most of her life following in Denise's footsteps, Andie found Denise dead in their apartment. In this moving and powerful memoir, Andie Dominick describes her relationship with her sister, her childhood reluctance to accept this new and difficult lifestyle, and the social stigma still attached to diabetes today.
