This is a poem I wrote last month as I was treating my low after being “stopped short” and feeling a little lot frustrated. How often does diabetes stop you short of what you want to do? It sure can be irritating when it happens..

Stopped Short

Diabetes,


You have this habit


of getting in the way


Do you realize


what a bother this is?


I finally get the discipline


and find the time

at 10pm tonight

to walk on the treadmill


To help you feel better


and your blood sugars

be more stable

But no!


You just weren’t able to cooperate,

were you?


I started feeling a little funny


so I stepped off the treadmill


44

Thanks diabetes!


Now after just

1.29 miles

I have to cut my walk short!


Don’t worry
,

orange juice & organic dried cranberries


should have you feeling good real soon


Now I just have to pick up the pieces


and continue this walk tomorrow


And..


I’ll do it again


Just for you.

Peace & Light,

Cynthia
