DIABETES ESSAY AND POEM COMPETITION 2010

Marine 29/06 9 Diabetes and me.

Diabetes is hard, at the beginning;
I still remember the day I got it,
I was only four, dying on the floor, not moving no more ...

But after a while, I got used to it.
When I'm very high 'cause of the sugar,
I feel very dizzy and extremely lonely;
So luckily my friend, the insuline, makes me feel happy again!
But when I am low, I am hypo and must take a snack as quick as I can.

Now It 's been five years since I've got diabetes,
And I can manage my disease, all by myself.
