DIABETES ESSAY AND POEM COMPETITION 2009

Jenny 19/06 11 me and my friend

I was only 5 when I got the condition
I had to be responsible
I thought of it as a mission.

I was in the hospital for 14 whole days!
I was in for a week before I knew I had it
But it has helped me in so many ways

In P6 I got the call
My friend had it to
I didn’t like this at all

So me and her are living OK
We have our ups and downs
But I would take her diabetes any day
