The Illness

The illness Diabetes is not a dance in wonderland compounded with heart disease. The diabetes play mind games from feeling high the top of the world to sink back to fatigue that can be deadly. Someday´s it is painful to walk and the pain is not visible but it follows its own evil paths that insulin cannot assuage. He never liked sweets except for a cola mixed with Rom he ate plenty of veggies and meat yet he got diabetes, and there is little point in asking why? On the internet, he gets mail from those who have found a cure, they are snake-oil salesmen and best to avoid, But it makes him annoyed that there unscrupulous people who exploit the ill for a big profit. As Trumps so aptly said. “it is what it is.”
