### 4/5 — Lov it

*2023-06-26, version 2.0*

Great game but u should have made it a bit longer and pls PLS add a part 2

### 4/5 — Wow

*2020-09-30, version 2.0*

Nice game! I just wanted it to last longer, I finished the whole entire game in less than 10 minutes of downloading it. Great game though. Idk how to make a game, but all I know about making games is thta it would probably take a really long time to plan it, Make it, publish it, and officially publish it. Anyways, Great job making the game! Well done! I hope this reviews gets more people to download this cool app! Anyways, got to go, hope this helps! Bye!

### 3/5 — Good game

*2020-09-11, version 2.0*

I think this is a good game
The pictures could use some work though.        But this is just my opinion.
And the main kid Emily is too chunky.
So if your going to get this game just remember the pictures need be more realistic.

### 4/5 — Wish there were more stories!!

*2020-08-12, version 2.0*

I think it’s a great app! It’s so important to bring light to subjects such as diabetes. However, I wish there were MORE stories on there. It’s a bit weird that there’s only one story. And as a result, I no longer have the app since I have finished the story.

### 5/5 — Great game! But....

*2020-06-30, version 2.0*

This game is great graphics are good story is good and the satisfying parts. But problem is I wish the story was longer.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-06-04, version 2.0*

I love this please make a part 2

### 5/5 — Short

*2020-05-01, version 2.0*

I love this game but it is so short can you make a part 2!!!!

### 5/5 — Great for people who have diabetes

*2020-03-10, version 2.0*

I like this game because I have diabetes

### 2/5 — Well...

*2020-01-12, version 2.0*

The story really isn’t that interactive because the game has no real choices. The graphics are also kind of creepy.
However, it is a fun game to play through, but it is the type of game you would only play once, and it takes maybe 10 minutes.
It is not as accurate/informative as I would like.

### 2/5 — Um...

*2019-12-29, version 2.0*

I don’t like it I’m pretty confused because it does not tell you where to tap like it’s a really boring story sorry creator but bad game fix it or else I will delete it I’m not being rude but I’ve never seen a more boo her game 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

### 5/5 — I hate it!!!!

*2019-12-14, version 2.0*

I like the game!!!

### 4/5 — How, Creation

*2019-11-03, version 2.0*

How do u play and what's the purpose of this and I like btw. Can u make one where we can create our own scenes and characters and stuff just like this

### 5/5 — The best game

*2019-08-27, version 2.0*

I love this game because my dad has diabetes and she is black i am too.I was SOOO sad when it said the end😢

### 5/5 — Dinner

*2019-06-02, version 2.0*

I like chicken noodle soup and burgers on Friday with a hint of lime and mint.

### 5/5 — Great game !

*2019-05-05, version 2.0*

This game is informative, but you wouldn’t even realize at first that it’s educational, because it’s so interesting. The game has fulfilled both purposes- to inform and to entertain.

### 5/5 — Good

*2019-02-04, version 2.0*

Hi good

### 3/5 — Ok

*2019-01-06, version 2.0*

Ok I like this app. But a few things. It’s rlly short and I think there should be more of a story line or with other people. Overall it’s good.

### 5/5 — PLZ PART 2 PLZZZ

*2018-12-19, version 2.0*

THIS IS AMAZING BUT I WANT PART TWO

### 1/5 — A gross autistic game.

*2022-02-27, version 2.0*

Such a wierd depressing game ur kids should not be playing.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE!!!!

*2017-08-04, version 2.0*

In my opinion I think this app is horrible! This app is so fast it's only 5 min to use it then your done! This app is useless because once you are done with the app you have to delete cause there's nothing else the game ends!!!
HORRIBLE GAME!!! 😡😡😡😡👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

### 1/5 — Don't Recommend

*2017-02-22, version 2.0*

I mean the concept is cute, but it's over in like 5 minutes. The animations are kinda creepy, and it's not really interactive. Waste of time, in my perspective.

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2016-04-14, version 2.0*

Undiagnosed diabetics go into DKA or diabetic keto acidosis, this causes the frequent urination and weight loss not gain. Unhealthy lifestyles and being overweight are not big factors of type 2, or any diabetes, they are definitely not helpful, but not causes. Hailey Berry has Type 2 and she is definitely not overweight. I quit the game outta frustration. I have two T1 kids which is what is typically seen in such early diagnosis, and not because they ate pizza and lots of soda to wash it down with. They is so stereotypical it's insulting. I was hoping to see a truly educational game. I'm sadly disappointed.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2015-09-02, version 1.0*

It's to short and it skips to much time.It should go through the three months and make you make the good decisions it's good for kids who get diabetes and need to relate but otherwise awful and boring. Not worth downloading

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2015-09-02, version 1.0*

This game is sh$t! Don't get it! It keeps crashing and isn't working so just don't get it! I wish that I could give no stars at all!

### 1/5 — WHAT!?!?

*2015-08-30, version 1.0*

The game was a waste of time and the ending didn't make any sense and it didn't teach us any kind of education

### 1/5 — Boring

*2015-08-29, version 1.0*

Waste of time

### 1/5 — I GOT THIS

*2015-08-28, version 1.0*

Boring

### 2/5 — Not that great

*2025-03-01, version 2.0*

Not that great at all

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-10-19, version 2.0*

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👍

### 5/5 — Yes

*2023-08-27, version 2.0*

My friend has type 2 diabetes and he has so much trouble with his diabetes so pray to the Lord that he and all can survive with this disease

### 5/5 — Do more based on other illnesses please

*2023-01-05, version 2.0*

There was so much I didn’t know about the signs etc of type 2 diabetes and it was really fun

### 5/5 — One of the best interactive games!

*2021-06-27, version 2.0*

### 5/5 — Represents us!

*2021-06-17, version 2.0*

Hello! My name is Katie Holes. This game totally ROCKS! I am a girl I think about Emily’s age and I also have type 2 diabetes. Mine is more severe because every day I inject myself with insulin.
