Sometimes it feels like perfection is the only standard to strive for in a diabetes life.  Always trying to get our blood sugar to stay in perfect range accompanied by feelings of failure when it doesn’t happen despite our best efforts.  But the only thing that is perfect in the world is imperfection.  Even more so with diabetes.  Understand that every day will not be perfect.  It’s impossible.  The better goal is persistence – to keep playing the diabetes game and doing your best knowing that some days you may not do it perfectly.  Be proud of persistence, it takes a lot of courage.
