Hour by hour

You can learn so much from having this condition,
We look to have a day off, but you can’t!
And if you let go and eat what you want.. there is no chance.

Well that isn’t entirely true…!
You can control as we all know what to do.

The medical team can guide
They know the textbook inside out, 
But living with it, you want to unleash and occasionally shout.

Imagine a poor child with this condition shall have this until the very end
Myself, 23 for years… and there are days I can’t fathom not defend. 


A CGM or blood test, followed by carb counting too,
Then the administration of insulin, that’s the moment you need to get into a rhythm
Adapting to a degree when you need to adhere to a system.

Some of us become take risks with the amount of insulin injected
Yet nothing in life (even this?) can ever be perfected.
