A day in the life of a diabetic

​Life is full of ups and downs
With this bloody condition you have moments you have no choice but to drown. 
With insulin dependant people, they don’t produce the insulin from the islet of a red blood cell which comes from the pancreas
And to be honest with you, the effects are quite cantankerous. 

I have told partners to leave me alone, 
They have loved me because I am on the ball, 
But the emotion diabetes comes with, you often tend to stall. 

The mind struggles 
Emotions runs high, 
And there’s are others with emotional that connect to yours
So you try to remain calm, but the chances of that hit the very core.

You see, I know we all have problems in our health
And as we get older things will enviably struggle, 
So you choose the people you want to be around because the vibe they give shall hit your soul
It doesn’t matter if it’s a parent or loved one, unfortunately you need to protect your ‘safe space’ and they need to go.
