Press Release: Hannah Montana Diabetes Episode to Air
If you recall, there was a big commotion several months ago about the season three episode “Sugar, No Sugar.” The episode was pulled, parts of it have been re-shot, and it’s scheduled to air as part of season four.
“Uptight (Oliver’s Alright)” – When Miley and Lilly learn that Oliver has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, the misguided pair become the “food police” at Traci’s Sweet 16 party. After a very strange evening, Oliver puts an end to their meddling ways and misconceptions and they ultimately learn that, with the support of their friends, they can navigate any challenge, in a new episode of “Hannah Montana” premiering SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 (7:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.
A prologue directs viewers to learn more about type 1 diabetes at www.JDRF.org.

Itwas so funny when Mily did weird stuff so she can get out of the box.Also it was funny when Mily had the dream and every thing went wrong.

I was disappointed with this episode. It really screwed up the timeline. It either needed to be aired before Lilly and Oliver got together, or it should have been rewritten so that Lilly makes the discovery after they got together.
