Still Me: Living with Type 1 Diabetes: I Am More Than My Numbers by Jennifer Huff

Living with Type 1 Diabetes means numbers are everywhere—blood sugar checks, insulin doses, carb counts, and reminders that never turn off. But this story isn’t about numbers. Still Me: Living With Type 1 Diabetes is a short, honest teen story about learning how to carry a diagnosis without letting it define who you are. Through everyday moments—school, friendships, sports, emotions, and self-doubt—the main character discovers that diabetes is part of her story, but it is not the whole story. This book speaks to teens navigating chronic illness, identity, and independence, offering reassurance that strength looks different for everyone—and that being brave doesn’t mean being perfect. Because you are more than your diagnosis. You are more than your numbers. You are still you.
