Sweet Steps

When Abbi’s sugar goes low during dance class, she starts to wonder if she will ever be able to dance centre stage without her diabetes getting in the way.

Sweet Steps is a collaborative project of the DHF community. Written as the second book in DHF’s Nothing Can Stop Me series, Abbi’s story highlights the day-to-day challenges children living with diabetes face and their ability to overcome them.
