His endocrinologist said,
Get controlled or soon be dead…*
Four-seventy-five
And he’s still alive,
But a little out of his head!
–
Activated payment card tonight,
For a change in insulin slight…
More concentrated
And highly rated,
To help him learn to fly right.
–
Management is still key,
Discouragement makes you sloppy…
Takes self-control
To fulfill this role,
It can be done honestly!

–
Going from high sugar levels,
To sunk deep in self pity revels…
Feeling alone
Forgetting his own,
Friends as he battles through evil.

DIABETES CONCERN
–
Levels four hundred and rising,
Not eaten much–surprising…
A bigger shot
May help, may not,
He dreads hospitalizing!

DOWN TO EARTH AGAIN
That weekend, he was flying high,
His blood sugar levels were why…
Nearly at six hundred,
He frankly wondered
If it were even worth the try.
–Jonathan Caswell
I AM RESPONSIBLE…FOR MY HEALTH!
When I come home grouchy and fly
Off handles, “sugar” is high…
My wife knows to stay
Out of my way,
Until I’m not so “high”.
–
If schedules are out of whack,
I suffer the greater impact…
I’ll complain and moan
When I get home,
Doing any minimal act.
–
I should test at seven or eight
PM, regularly on each date…
An insulin shot
Given on the dot,
My body appreciates!
