When Diabetes Feels Like A Demon

Oakland, CAFredrick Johnson has diabetes, a lifelong disease that prevents him from producing insulin — the substance we all need to break down food into energy.

Diabetes exists in the body, but when Fredrick's blood sugar is low, it can feel like an inner demon takes over his mind.

And that’s when he feels less like Fredrick and more like Freak.
