Living with what I live with (a poem from a a type 1 with diabetes)

Bloody hell the lows are dragging and a considerate pain 

You feel your body struggling through a hypo and headache which often stains.

The head hurts 

And there are the organs which knock you side to side, 

And knowing one day you lose that comment to stay alive.

Yet you continue to find a system

And nor over analyse, which is easier said than done…

Trust me this topic called: ‘type 1 diabetes’ isn’t at all fun.

You need to accept it, and own it from the start

And when you start to inject or insert a needle for a pump,

Remember this for certain! You own thus but if you think this system is simple? Then perhaps you need a thump….
