KANSAS CITY, Kan.
The evil Dr. Diabetes leaps from a hospital window, crashing through the glass, determined to infect anyone in his path with the chronic, debilitating disease from which he takes his name. The imposing, green, wild-haired monster scowls, punches the air and taunts, ''I will make sure that everyone on the planet feels my pain. The whole world will have diabetes.''
In real life, 13-year-old Kamaal Washington — one of the creators of the Dr. Diabetes comic book character — faces his own battle with diabetes. The teen says the adventures that he and his 11-year-old brother, Malcolm, capture in their comic books are meant to spread awareness about the disease and empower those who have it.
