Learning to live with this condition.

Diabetes, the curse of my life
Yet, I embrace it, especially when I have to endure the pain
Yet the struggle shall always be there, 
I am just articulating my message for myself and others, nothing else to share.

The hypos are aggressive
The strain never leaves, 
The glucose monitor explains how a type 1 is feeling, 
I get hypos daily, and just like a chocolate cake, one I am unable to have a chance of consume or be stealing. 

The hypos are aggressive
The hypos are short and can be long, 
They can take a day away from me, in context, 
Wanting to eat all the carbohydrates to raise all this nonsense.

I get through, I have no choice
I tool speak on behalf of fellow diabetics, who too have no choice, 
Yet we get on with life, and if you are like me it’s a struggle
There isn’t a day I don’t have to balance blood sugars to make things right
Today is another day… so us with this condition need to continue to fight.
