    NATIOINAL DIABETES MONTH "NOVEMBER"
    National Diabetes Month

    Needles and strips. Feet that's sore.
    Aches and pains. Meters that store.

    Numbers go up. Then they go down.
    Cookies and pasta and cake all around!

    Daily walks. Nutritious food.
    Cinnamon helps. Some herbs do.

    Fenugreek, camomile tea and boswellia stew.
    Fish and pumpkin oils fight inflamation in you.

    Drink lots of water. Alcohol's taboo.
    Loose the smokes. And spare tire to!

    Sweating, shaking, tingling lips.
    Too much insulin can do all this.

    Or don't eat enough or over exercise.
    Can knock you right out. Yes even die!

    Glucose tabs. Keep close at hand.
    Diabetes can be so grand!......
    DEDICATED TO MY BROTHER GARY FRANCIS AND AUNT LAURA,

    WHO DIED FROM DIABETIES .

    My sister has Type 1 diabetes. She is 28 now, and can control the symptoms for the most part. This is a good poem, and it opens diabetes up for others to empathize. Great job!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
