Hypoglycemia

An incurable condition: Type 1 diabetes Potentially fatal hypoglycemia- low blood sugar Surprise onset, no forewarning, telltale symptoms absent Abruptly overthrowing any semblance of cerebral control Potentially fatal hypoglycemia- low blood sugar Life saving glucose has been wiped out of the bloodstream Abruptly overthrowing any semblance of cerebral control Everyday tasks, so easy to execute, now impossible to perform Life saving glucose has been wiped out of the bloodstream The body breaking down without its required energy supply Everyday tasks, so easy to execute, now impossible to perform Consciousness depleted; extinction appearing to be the inescapable finale. The body breaking down without its required energy supply Yet out of the darkness comes life saving sweetness Consciousness depleted; extinction appearing to be the inescapable finale But resurrection by sugar has allotted another chance at existence

Excellent poem Demetria, I've only witnessed one hypoglycemic attack - was a teacher who i knew to be diabetic, the kids were used to seeing it happen but I was shocked at how quickly it came on, am more aware of the warning signs now - my hubby type 2. People don't realise how debilitating diabetes can be if the conditions isnt controlled:-( hugs jan xx
