Diabetes daily fight….

​One day I just want to avoid taking insulin to prevent me go to low
We understand the maths but mistakes will happen on the way, 
I have had this condition for 23 years now, can’t my pancreas regenerate insulin so overdosing shall go away.

I dislike this condition 
I really and honestly do!
I would like to have a cheat day by scoffing my face with ample sweets,
But I have to be disciplined, otherwise I face a hypo staring at me to revel in defeat. 

I dislike this condition 
But then again I must embrace the daily challenges that it possesses, 
I have said too much through these words, yet then again I need to start confessing. 

I express with words of honesty
We have stigma all of the time, 
‘Why not bring sweets with you?’ Or why didn’t you follow the rule book to balance your blood sugars?
My answer is; how can this be so? The highs, lows and there is exercise and the mental health it poses
But then again, life is on life’s terms as one day I hope the pancreas regenerates and the insulin pen shall no longer need to inject its doses.
