The Little Red Sports Car
This is a fun, upbeat story about a little car that meets a new challenge in life and is able to overcome it. Rudy, The Little Red Sports Car, is not feeling well one day and his owner Bob takes him into a garage for a checkup. Bob learns that he has to make some adjustments in the way he drives it. Rudy's automatic transmission (the pancreas) is broken and Rudy now has to be driven with a manual transmission, and he also needs a special additive to run again (insulin). There are many parallels to diabetes – but the main message in this upbeat tale is that life with diabetes can go on as usual – just with a few adjustments. This book could also be used by an adult with diabetes to help a child understand what an individual with diabetes experiences every day. For questions or comments please email Eleanor at .

About the Author

Hi! Welcome and thanks for visiting! I'm a Senior Citizen who has been living with type 1 diabetes since 1993. The Little Red Sports Car, is the result of my own experience living with this challenging illness. Diabetes to me is like a wily opponent that I am constantly trying to out-smart. Sometimes diabetes gets the better of me, but that just challenges me to try harder to beat it - or at least control it. My book is an analogy of what living with diabetes is like. It's geared towards young children and is written in a way that, I hope, will make sense to them. My prayer is that it will give them hope that they can live a normal life - just with a few adjustments.
