This comic poem was an offshoot from “Diabetes: Year One” which I’ve dusted off and extended. The idea was to use the format of the diary I was given to record my blood sugars & carbs when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, as a way to consider the ways the diary seemed to encapsulate and define my experience of type 1 diabetes.

The images are provoked by inserting the text and psychology into this format - a form that is not unfamiliar, but does jar with the everyday - both of drawing and reading.

Anyway I took the format as a starting point, and then elaborated on that with the text of the poem.

The comic is 24 pages (including covers, printed dimensions 95mm x 190mm) and comes as a secured PDF - print enabled.
