Body & Mind

Description

Diabetes is a peculiar monster battle in which sugar is unleashed into your vessels and you desperately tighten the chain called insulin to tame its rampage. If neglected, the pancreatic β-cell heroes are overworked into collapse, paving the way for a zombie army of small complications. A fleeting temptation for sweets transforms into a long, thrilling rollercoaster ticket, a theme park of tedium and tension. The endless trio of glucose tests, medications, and dietary rules feels like a never-ending encore of a recital praying for health. Amidst a world craving harmless routines, this disease alone promises a decidedly “not sweet” finale as its bizarre showrunner.
