This condition. (Diabetes poem)

​This condition kills
And slowly, slowly destroys. 
You can understand people with insulin dependance frustrations, this more than just a chore.

You have people who may jib you when you are having a low
The struggles of a hypoglycaemia attack drags on and can feel slow, 
And there are people who have these mental health trials, 
Along with this condition you can understand why people who live with this are in denial.

Carb counting and leaving the insulin in your body for 10 minutes before you eat,
But you need to remain positive, and avoid that notion of defeat. 

I had a friend who didn’t regard my needs, 
I told them to leave me alone, as they didn’t know what to do,
This slow crippling disease shall one day find a cure, but now we simply need to pray and imbue.
