In my 10 day of Covid:
Actually reading a real book on my phone. It is a free offering from Kindle, called “Sick to Death” by Douglas Clark, a British police procedural written in 1971. The victim was killed by a mysteriously induced diabetic coma. Sort of a lock room, but not.

It was referred by someone on one of my diabetes forums. Another diabetes related read, is a graphic novel serialized one chapter per week, called “Chronic” by Lisa Horstman on the app Substack under Mulberry Treehouse. It is a fictionalized account of Lisa, Elle’s journey beginning with diagnosis of type 1 diabetes at 13. The story and artwork are fabulous.
