Frosted Flakes

I ate a whole box of Frosted Flakes
Oh what a mess that sugar makes
I'd do it again
but diabetes set in
Just smelling it still gives me the shakes

The Candy Man

He has had a very sweet tooth all of his life 
He even found himself a rather sweet wife
He’d eat cream cakes and all kinds of sweeties
Now he has high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes

Sweet Inheritance

Sweet Inheritance 

 He was going to live 
 Forever,
Had honey with
His coffee 
Every morning
But his allotted time
Was up
In the basement 
30 litres of 
Honey
Sadly his only son
Has diabetes.

Premium Member Why I Eat Berries

Blueberries discourage diabetes and heart disease
red raspberries can protect you from cancer
blackberries help prevent gum disease
But I eat them because they are baked into a delicious pie.

Premium Member Apple Pie For Breakfast

apple pie for breakfast. Dessert is whipping cream.
Fine chocolate scones with raisins plainly seen.
Extra sweet white icing on my two cinnamon rolls.
Diabetes? Me? Well I guess this is how it goes.

SUGAR DIABETES

Many decades ago
You didn’t see or hear
Anything about diabetes
Now it’s almost like the
Whole world has it
From babies, small children
To adults, makes a person
Wonder why? 
Is it an experiment with
The food

Life, Breath - Taken One leg gone Perished in deathbed Diabetes murdered Grandpa Benumbed by ill - gash's agony perforating - dulled Gold medal won after the day of his death reminds me of his only heart memoirs...

HEALTHY EATING

The food that supposed to be
Healthy, has underline 
Plus, damaging
Chemicals inside that’s not
Good for your body
Sugar free supposed to be
Sugar free but it’s loaded with
Fructose that’s harmful
For people with diabetes

Salt and Sugar

salt and sugar
pull the trigger
high blood pressure diabetes
fight wars without any treaties
good food is much too sweet
causing some a defeat
alternatives are there
so keep yourself aware
think healthy and pure
fins and wings for sure

Food We Enjoy So Much

Food we enjoy so much
is a heap of polished clay
boiled in saucepans of soot
for mouth to swallow safely
and stomach to receive well
to poison every blood stream
and make the body plumb
loaded with lovely diabetes
for doctors to earn income

Coffee Love

Caffeine and powdered milk to stir this amour
Who needs sugar with love this sweet?
Unbreakable glycosedic bonds in the genes of our DNA
We love to disappear and make love below the microscope
Every touch is a diabetes attack
It stimulates me.

Premium Member Life Is a Bowl of Cherries

Peter has 150 candy bars, he eats 125, what does he have now Diabetes... thought it would be kinda obvious he'd be endowed Should have known better Followed doc's orders to the letter Instead of gorging himself like a big fat cow

It is not over

It is not over
This long winter
I am already so sick
Of the winter
Also I still go out during
The Winter
And I also dress warm
When I go for my walks
Outside
I need to walk
Because walking is good for me
And my diabetes
It keeps my sugar low

Diabetese sucks

Here I am
As frustrated as can be
Diabetese sucks because it ruins my day
I can't wake up out of this misery
The emotions intensifies and the loss of patience grows
I need to control this, but I am unable to
chemical inbalance or not, diabetes sucks.

Doc Talk

Doc says you stay away
from ham and steak
and don't you ever touch
icecream and cake.

Well, have you seen cows
or pigs on their track
die of cholesterol-caused
heart attack?

Or a hive of nectar-drunk
honeybees
actually die of sweet
diabetes?

Self Motivation

I discard these wishes, these dreams,
And go blow for blow with reality 
These dreams these wishes sugar coat the truth
Before me 
And I’m a man with conscious and ambitions 
Not the type to sit on my ass and get diabetes 
by wishing for dreams to come true.

Tattered

I flap, remembered
through treacherous gusts:
freedom dismembered
by old bloodline trusts

assuring collapse
with floods of treaties
prompting a relapse
of diabetes

bursting the synapse
in chemical sway,
tightening those bootstraps
till trust fades away.

Shopping List

Clove of garlic for the heart
Green tea for diabetes
Carrots for the eyes
Milk for healthy teeth and bones
Coffee for alertness
Prune juice for regularity
Spaghetti for energy
Oatmeal for fullness
Green beans for vitamin 12
Red meat for anemia
Apple fritter for my sweet tooth

Premium Member Two Wolves

Each of us have two wolves living inside us
One wants to eat burritos
and watch horror movies.

The other wants to walk about 
in its underpants all day 
snacking on cheetos between long naps. 

The wolf that thrives is the one 
who lives on with diabetes while the other
dies of a heart attack.

Premium Member Obesity

Obesity has been growing in the past 20 years
But health officials were shocked by a 1999
Study that revealed that 61% of the population 
 Either overweight or obese
Obesity linked to diabetes
Heart disease
 Hypertension
 Osteoarthritis and cancer
The effects of obesity cost Americans $100 billion per year
2012015

Obsessed

It is sweet and available but deadly,
I cannot do without taking it all the time,
even if the effects on my health are costly,
getting hyperactive is not a crime,
backache and fatigue are my normal visitors,
stomach pain and extreme pile are auditors,
 much sugar,diabetes is near!

Premium Member The Man

I looked into
my surgeon soul
In there
I saw the reflection
of life

The yellow eyes
of jaundice
The fetid breath
of diabetes
The sickly smell
of gangrene

I looked again
The calm face
of death
The wet feel
of birth

If you don’t know
ask the leeches
swimming in the pool
of my blood

Ask the man
in the white shroud
waiting at the gate

The Day of a Diabetic

The pace
  I walked for 50 minutes
 Inhaling fumes of cars, it is like
 Living in a roundabout
The see air on the seventh floor
At my flat, the air is healthier
But I walk every day because
It is suitable for my diabetes
And it makes me slimmer
Only the walk makes me hungry.
It makes me wonder if
The great and late president Chirac
Walked the street of Paris?
