Books I've read with diabetes

I am a voracious reader, and I prefer nonfiction. I keep a list of nonfiction books, by library of congress classification. I was just wondering about all the books I've read that reference diabetes.

Some books where a person with diabetes is one of the main characters, or diabetes plays a major part of the book:

An anthology of stories by kids with various medical issues of which diabetes is probably the mildest

Some of the fiction books I've read with diabetic characters include
The Babysitter's Club books by Ann M Martin, in which Stacey is diabetic.
Sweetblood by Pete Hautman, who is himself a T1 diagnosed in adulthood, about a T1 teenager with interesting theories. I don't think the diabetes part of the book is realistic, oddly enough.
Beyond the Mango Tree by Amy Bronwen Zemser, which is a very odd book in which the main character's mother is T1 and crazy.
Tough Beans by Betty Bates about a boy with diabetes, way back when.
Going to the Sun, an adult book by James McManus, whose daughter is T1, in which the main character is a young woman who's been T1 since childhood and who is very depressed. I thought when I read it that the character commits suicide at the end of the book, although when I mentioned the book to a librarian, she said she once lead a book discussion about the book, because apparently the author is local, and the attendees were split as to whether or not the character actually commits suicide. In any case, I would be furious if my father had written this book.
