From the moment he awakes each morning at his family's home in West Kelowna, Rylan Sundstrom must follow a stringent routine.

The seven-year-old begins his day by pricking his finger to test his blood sugar level.

It's an exercise he or his parents will repeat at least another six times over the next 24 hours.

Rylan also needs four to six insulin injections per day, usually self-administered on his abdomen, but also on occasion on his arms or legs.
