good

it was extremely fun, and a great way of learning about diabetes! first you give your dog a name, then you try to keep the dog's blood sugar in order. there is a gauge on the side that tells you if the blood sugar is going up or down. if it is going down, go to the store and buy it some sugary food. if it is going up, you have to get it insulin. there is a night and day, of course the day only last 5 minutes and night stops when you want it to. at night, you earn money for giving you dog attention and feeding it the right foods, and the money is used for more food when you go to the market.
P.S. the dog gives you hints on what it wants you to do.
