I was sent a link to check out this movie from somebody else who has diabetes. The movie right now is looking for funding, which is why it is listed on Kick Starter. I know that I am very critical of any movie that is based around diabetes because we all want them to get it right. This is based on a true story, and the person with diabetes in the movie was involved in the process of the movie making. I have embedded it below, also will include a link.
Here is the quick synopsis. Two guys, best friends, one diabetic, one not. They are out at a cabin. Friend with diabetes has a high blood sugar before he goes to bed and takes insulin to correct. Non-diabetic friend finds him having a seizure because his sugar went too low in the middle of the night. There’s only one way to get help…. swim across the lake.
Let me know your thoughts, opinions, feedback, etc. If you feel it’s a good movie, I encourage you to support and share the video.

Here is the video:
No glucagon?
No phone?
No boat?
No cabins nearby except on the opposite side of the lake?
Guess I’ll have to watch the entire movie to find out.
The funny thing is…when I watched the video I thought it looked like the lake where my aunt and uncle have a cabin. Then I clicked over and saw “Vermont lake house.” I wonder if it’s the same lake!
