DIABETES ESSAY AND POEM COMPETITION 2009

Phoebe 23/02 10 Diabetes at school

Having diabetes,
Is not very nice.
Not too much sugar,
I don't like spice.

Injections, injections,
At least twice a day.
I'm now quite used to it,
It's my new way.

I dont like being different,
I don't want people to know.
People ask lots of questions,
Why, why wont it go.

When I do P.E. and Games,
I do lot's of running about.
Then my blood sugars go too low,
I will need some food no doubt.

When I'm on last sitting,
It's very hard for me.
I have to have some special sweets,
but I do it secretly.
