Best Diabetes Poems

Dishearten me if that is your will
I have seen countless others dance in your shadows
Abandoned, alone within your grasp
Bested through your touch
Exhausted they fell
Too tired to two-step to the beat of their own hearts
Empathetic eyes closing before me for one last time
Silence replacing their laughter

My Diabetes
Getting Type 1 Diabetes has changed my life.
It often gives me lots of grief and lots of strife.
How I wish I could give it a way,
But come what may, it is here to stay.
Four shots a day of insulin I give.
Without these I have...

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, bromelain and boswellia stew.
Fish and pumpkin oils fight inflamation in you.

Drink lots of water. Alcohol's...

Cold blooded diabetes
Try to stop her
If you can because 
Insulin shots are not fun
But they must be given
When you're dealing with

Cold blooded diabetes
Will ravage your body
 it can cause gangrene
And limb amputation
So take good care of yourself
When you deal with

Cold blooded diabetes
After you're diagnosed
Doctors will...

AUTUMN OUGHT NOT BE SO ORIDNARY

Setting now is another Autumnal sun
Another late October day is nearly done
And now I’ve another night all alone to face
Without a lasting and loving embrace
Sans a kindly kiss good-night
And a “sleep well my sweet” wrapped in delight
With sincerity sequestered in...

Look at me, what do u see? 
Someone happy? Someone carefree. 
.But sometimes if u look closer what 
can u find? An emotional wreck with 
a poor state of mind. From the 
outside i may look healthy and 
glowing but who sees the injection 
sights,...

A herb on 'Diabetes Day' in glee,
Addressed a man in talking spree

"Let's hear the story from me,
I have weathered the seasons you see

You can move and walk,
But Iam not free.

You can express & talk,
I can never be like thee.

Many medicines today you see,
Had their origins...

Thoroughly thoroughly wash wash hands with soap and water
Getting out all the equipment..like a hospital operating room
Cleaning hands by using alcohol..could I get drunk from this
Get out clean lancet looks like a short very short arrow
Place new lancet in lancer..thank you for the invention
Open test...

tiny steps
inched forward
towards the line
tiny hands
reaching
through shadows
on the other side
was death
...she survived

teenage strolls
tempting fate
with screeching brakes
she flew wingless
through night's air
...she survived

adulthood fears
lurked in shadows
of darkness
hands grabbing
through the fog
she was lifted
staring barrels down
felt the pierce
of blades
pressing
rage of minds
exploding
a shattered heart
...she survived

climbing life's hill
a weakened heart
in slow...

Enough!
by Michael R. Burch

It’s not that I don’t want to die;
I shall be glad to go.
Enough of diabetes pie,
and eating sickly crow!
Enough of win and place and show.
Enough of endless woe!

Enough of suffering and vice!
I’ve said it once;
I’ll say it twice:
I shall be glad to...

Eating Badly with diabetes is a Suicide Mission.

I know, because Artur Anczarski, says so.

He is the Prophet, he is the Saint,
And nothing he says, is ever quaint
(it simply ain’t)

As for exercise and diet, ‘you don’t do either!’
(which is not – anymore – entirely true, but...

Thoughts on World Diabetes Day(14th Nov.2018): 

'Immersed in the ocean of Blessing'



Immersed in the ocean of blessing,

God's mercy all times encompassing.


Even then all times Iam complaining,

Petty things I never forgetting.


At the 'have-nots' Iam never looking,

My own self, I keep on prodding.


A young man on dialysis...
