Love it!

This game has been one of my core memories since I’ve been diagnosed with diabetes when I was 9 years old. I’ve re-downloaded it many time just for the nostalgia. It’s very relatable and I’d definitely recommend it, especially for a new diabetic! Only thing I don’t particularly like is how ugly the main character is👍
