The best metaphor I&rsquo;ve seen is having to keep a balloon in the air at exactly the right height all day, every day, even when sleeping.</p> <div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share; fullscreen" loading="eager" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8lyItscGdaQ?autoplay=0&amp;controls=1&amp;end=0&amp;loop=0&amp;mute=0&amp;start=0" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;" title="YouTube video"></iframe> </div> <p>Technology has definitely made this easier over the years. When I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2003, I used test strips and finger pricks to check my blood sugar levels. Checking 8 times a day was considered gold-standard care, and all at the low, low price of bleeding and &rsquo;train tracks&rsquo; on my fingers!</p>
