Watch the full film here - https://vimeo.com/ondemand/497296 Just Like You – Diabetes is an award-winning short documentary that offers an intimate look into the daily lives of four children living with Type 1 diabetes, alongside their closest friends and supporters. Through honest, age-appropriate storytelling, the film explores what it feels like to manage blood sugar checks, insulin injections, food decisions, and the constant vigilance diabetes requires—while also highlighting humor, resilience, friendship, and normal childhood moments. By centering the voices of children themselves, the film helps viewers understand that diabetes is part of life, but not the definition of who these kids are. Sierra Adams, Jack Bichelmeyer, Garrett Brown, and Grace Chisholm share their personal experiences navigating school, sports, sleepovers, and social situations with diabetes, supported by their friends Zenia Amrolia, Peter McLiney, Kirby Motsinger, and Jake Smith. Their relationships illustrate how understanding and inclusion grow through honesty, trust, and shared experience. With insight from diabetes advocate and former Miss America Nicole Johnson, JDRF National Director, and Baseball Hall of Famer George Brett, the film provides context and education while keeping the focus where it belongs: on real kids living real lives. Their perspectives help demystify Type 1 diabetes and reinforce the importance of community support. The film helps viewers better understand diabetes in everyday settings such as school, home, athletics, and social environments. It is designed to reduce fear, build empathy, and create space for more informed and compassionate conversations among peers, educators, healthcare providers, and families.
