Bruce Balch handles the tiny, sharp lancets with expertise in his insurance office.
He has been testing his blood about eight times daily for the past five years, since he was diagnosed with diabetes at age 45.
Balch dashes the notion that only overweight people get diabetes.
He was a nationally competitive triathlete at the time of his diagnosis. He still is.
He's raced against Lance Armstrong, competed in Ironman events, earned the distinction of national champion in USA Triathlon's 2012 Duathlon National Championship and qualified for a major event in China last year.
