Billy B has always dreamed of being like his favorite superhero, Agent A1C. But their connection is unlike any ordinary bond between a hero and his biggest fan, they both live with Type 1 diabetes.
Managing blood sugar, taking insulin, making careful food choices, and explaining his condition to other children sometimes leaves Billy feeling frustrated and different. But when Agent A1C's lessons begin to come alive, Billy is drawn into an unforgettable adventure against Dangerous D and his troublesome allies: High, Low, and DKA.
With every challenge, Billy learns how glucose monitoring, insulin, nutrition, exercise, and support from family, friends, and healthcare professionals can help him stay strong. Along the way, he stands up to bullying, assists other children facing diabetes-related emergencies, and discovers that asking for help is not a weakness, it is a superpower.
But the greatest revelation is still waiting for him: the hero who has been guiding him may be much closer than he ever imagined.
Filled with vibrant, comic-inspired illustrations and approachable health lessons, The Adventures of Billy B: Heroes Among Us is an empowering story about courage, family, self-advocacy, and living confidently with Type 1 diabetes.
Perfect for children living with diabetes, newly diagnosed families, classmates, educators, school nurses, diabetes camps, pediatric clinics, and anyone who needs a reminder that real heroes are all around us.
