Summary

When Jack is 18, he's diagnosed with diabetes but isn't told he can do anything about it, so he doesn't. He falls into comas, he loses vision and needs eye surgery, his leg is amputated and his kidneys give out. Finally, someone at an organ transplant clinic teaches him about diet, substance abuse, and diabetes. In Ojibwe and English.
