I started to lose weight and my eyes were getting blurry,
And my sometimes clear voice started to get a little slurry.
I went to the GP and that ’D’ word was said,
I thought “ooops, not sure what to do here”
What can I eat? What can I do?
Need more answers, rather than prolonged political clues...
A Mate said “get on with it”
And I confess that’s the best advice I heard
I faced a tricky couple of months not knowing what to do,
Yet this curve ball made me strong in dealing with life’s equation, and clues.
I went to D.A.F.N.E.
Meaning dose, adjust, for, normal eating
A great philosophy to work myself out
As I was heading towards an organ beating!!!
The condition had taught me how to embrace
What seems a difficult condition that involves Maths.
“What do you mean?” You night say
Well it’s all about discipline and control
As I learn to pivot forward and demonstrate a sugar contained soul.
The condition isn’t easy but it’s a good challenge to learn,
You are never alone, I have been where you now face.
Amen dear father I am in such a better dietary place.
“I have Type 1 Diabetes and I just get on with it..”
