Single mother Hannah starts to notice warning signs in the habits of her daughter Jozefin (Yoyo for short). A trip to the family doctor reveals the news that no mother wants to hear: her 9-year old has been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Faced with a new and shocking reality, Hannah and Yoyo must navigate the difficulties of growing up with this serious condition. Yoyo quickly learns the difficulty of having a childhood illness, from her new strict diet, to administering daily blood sugar tests at school, to self-injecting. While Yoyo bravely comes to terms with her new reality, Hannah struggles with the financial and emotional burden of having a child with Type 1 Diabetes.
