(This year, Diabetes Blog Week and TuDiabetes are teaming up to bring out the poet in you! Write a poem, rhyme, ballad, haiku, or any other form of poetry about diabetes. After you’ve posted it on your blog, share it on the No Sugar Added® Poetry page on TuDiabetes, and read what others have shared there as well!)
Numbers dance
twirl
jump
smash
crash
plunge
rocket
A beautiful symphony of life,through the lens of a dysfunctional CGM.
It is my normal.
To be otherwise
is something so foreign
(Yet so exotically appealing)
as to wonder
"What else would I be doing
with my life?"
Site changes
post-brushing teeth lows
doctor appointments
$$$$ medical supplies
constant analyzing
random 400's
not sleeping through the night
It's been my life,for so long.
I don't remember how it really "felt"
to have a flatline blood sugar 24 hours a day. (Although I'd certainly not object to a return to that.)
But there is a method to the madness
Purpose to the willy-nilly
Meaning to the insanity.
Dance on,you crazy beautiful life.
My CGM is a performance of rawest form.

I wish all the time for just 24 hours of not having to worry about diabetes! Thanks for sharing! Great poem!
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteLove this. And yes, why do lows always happen post-brushing teeth? I swear sometimes I think there is insulin in my toothpaste.
