Summary
In the morning, the treating doctor came to Osnat and Avner and told them they had a sweet girl. Avnersmiled and replied that indeed she was a nice, good, and wonderful girl. At that point, however, thedoctor clarified that Smadar had been diagnosed with juvenile diabetes — a condition that wouldaccompany her throughout her life. ‘While there is no cure for this illness, it is certainly possible tomaintain a normal daily routine.’Smadar was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at the age of six. This gives rise to the title of the book,“Sweet Girl and Not Alone.” The book follows her development and achievements through every stageof life — from childhood to youth and adulthood — in full independence and without limitations, as sheactively participates in the Scouts, volunteers for full military service, pursues university studies, builds afamily, and advances to senior positions in the banking system.Through Smadar’s eyes, we are given a glimpse of the human ability to rise above difficulties anddiscover the beauty and strength of life, despite illness, always with the support of her parents.The book serves as an inspiring model not only for people with diabetes but for anyone facingchallenges. It demonstrates that, despite fears, it is indeed possible to live a normal, unlimited life evenwith diabetes.
