One of the most difficult things about living with diabetes is that there is no break. People with diabetes have to make decisions about their diabetes management multiple times a day, each and every day. Diabetes doesn't follow a regular schedule; questions about healthy eating happen every time you eat; insulin dosing can change on a dime, given any number of different daily and hourly variables. And yet, even though diabetes is a constant in people's lives, access to real-time support is anything but constant. If diabetes doesn't take a break, why should your support system?

Diabetes is constant. Your support team should be, too.

When you have questions about diabetes, how long does it take to get answers from a real person? When you need an accountability partner, who do you turn to? Are you able to get feedback on your blood glucose numbers in real-time? If you're like most people, your current management situation isn't ideal. Appointments with a doctor or diabetes educator don't happen as often as you'd like. When they do, there's not enough time to ask all your questions or get the support you need. Diabetes education - at least the way that most people get it - doesn't meet people where they are, which is right here, right now. We live in the 21st century; this outdated care model needs a revamp.
