ABOUT THE FILM Created in collaboration with Merck and directed by Ani Simon-Kennedy, A Touch of Sugar attests to the resiliency of the human spirit and challenges the national perception of life with type 2 diabetes. The film shows how the disease affects people all across the United States and reinforces type 2 diabetes as an urgent public health issue through interviews with patients and their loved ones, as well as doctors and advocates. As Shenekqual prepares for her wedding, Stewart heads to Capitol Hill, Niurka provides for her family and Susie searches for the support she needs, A Touch of Sugar sheds light on how we must fight the stigma associated with the disease and confront this epidemic – one patient and one community at a time.
