All About DKA: Jake's T1D Adventure

by Afreen Nagra and Jake Baker-Pauley

Jake fills his days with hockey, school, hanging out with his friends… oh, and managing type 1 diabetes. But diabetes doesn’t always make sense, and during his trip to the diabetes clinic, Jake learns a new term that makes things even more confusing - DKA. Luckily, Jake doesn’t have to figure it all out on his own. With the help of a Health Fairy named Afreen, Jake goes on an adventure inside his body to understand what DKA really is. Through science, laughter and a whole lot of magic, Jake learns the importance of checking for ketones and gains the knowledge and power he needs to take action and keep himself safe! All About DKA is a collaborative project from the DHF community, written as the fourth book in the Nothing Can Stop Me series. Proceeds raised from the sale of All About DKA will be used to support DHF’s free programs and resources for Canadian youth living with type 1 diabetes. Learn more at www.diabeteshopefoundation.com.
