Synopsis

Ashleigh is hiding in a tree to avoid her friends' water pistols when she suddenly feels drowsy—she's forgotten her insulin after lunch. In her haste to climb down, she falls and awakens in Mediland, where the Medikidz superheroes explain type 1 diabetes. Together, they witness the immune system attacking beta cells and meet frustrated glucose molecules. Will Ashleigh learn to manage her condition and return to her friends? Join her on this educational adventure.
