Part 3 of the Sugar Babies diabetes mini-series address the public health epidemic of type 2 diabetes from the point of view of Joyce, a dynamic nurse-practitioner at the renowned Joslin Clinic who treats two teenagers with type 2 diabetes. The film follows two of Joyce's patients, Janae and Janillia who were diagnosed as 9 and 10-year old girls. Joyce is a trusted medical professional who speaks directly with her patients and tries to motivate them to take charge of their health. Janae and Janillia are both keenly aware of the costs they will have to pay in the future if they are not able to keep their blood-sugar levels under control, but even so, the challenges are sometimes overwhelming. Interwoven with these two intimate personal stories is the big story of the cultural and political ramifications of the diabetes epidemic.
