Had to explain diabetes to my kids friend in a way he understood and the explanation really helped him understand. Just typing it in here hoping it helps someone else out as well!

You know when you left the hot water on and it filled the bath? You realize it’s way to hot and then have to turn on the cold water to bring down the temperature so it’s in a normal range. Having diabetes is the same thing because you have to adjust high and low blood sugars levels so it’s just right. The difference with diabetics is that they have to do it constantly throughout the day to be comfortable instead of just once a day like a bath.
