Captain Novolin

Captain Novolin is an educational platform video game, starring the eponymous superhero who has type 1 diabetes. It was developed by Sculptured Software and published by Raya Systems for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Captain Novolin is the only one who can stop such evil aliens as Blubberman and rescue the diabetic mayor of Pineville who was kidnapped by the evil aliens. Satava mentioned an evaluation of the Captain Novolin game that involved the interviewing of 23 diabetic children and the parent of one child on an individual basis. Boys and girls were enthusiastic about the game, and several children said that the game would be useful when telling their friends about diabetes. The game was met with approval from all of the parents in the evaluation and was considered to have value for facilitating discussions with children about diabetes. Barbara M.
