An Ode to Diabetes

[jumbleannie1VDJQ]

Was told to cut out sugar, chocolate and sweets
Next came the oats the rice and the wheat's
Can't cope with oranges, or many other fruits
Still trying desperately to find a food that suits
Protein gets yer kidneys, fats clogs up yer heart
Seems that every type of food is out to get some part
Can't even drink much now and that's something I've missed
Have to be the driver and watch me mates get ******
Seems all that's left for me to eat is lettuce leaves and water
So is it really any suprise I don't always do what I outta
I can't face a curry without chappatti's too
And what's the point if I can't have some tatties in my stew
So if I cheat, sometimes do, an make myself unwell
I'd like to bet that when I dieI won't be alone in hell :twisted:
Any replies in verse please :lol:

Oh what a simple verse that was
Short and to the point
I think you are a wily lass
In coming here to stay
You know that all the good folk here
Will try and make your day
They will offer strange alternatives
Like Cauliflower Rice.......
I think I would rather eat a plate
of marinated mice !!!

I’ve done wi eating pasta,
the tatties are o’r the side,
sugar is oot the windi
and rice I canna abide !!

My levels they keep level,
ma weight is droppin’ aff,
I’m keepin ma feet in order
to stop them dropping aff.

And no, I’m no an angel
I ha the odd bit sweet
but only on occasion
a wee bit trig and neat.

To bring Choccie's poem to the attention of newbies:

I'm really trying to stay "low-carb"
But finding it so hard.
My mood keeps changing daily,
As I crave all foodstuffs barred.

I've tried to think of other things
But running through my head
Are thoughts of spuds and pasta
And chunks of crusty bread.

I just can't get excited
Over salad,veg and meats
I've really tried but failed
To enjoy those low-carb "eats".

I don't smoke or drink alcohol.
I eat a balanced diet.
And when I heard of low-carb
I really had to try it.

I started off so very well
And full of good intention
But now I'm simply going ape
At every "low-carb" mention.

My readings have gone mad again
I cannot fathom why.
I'm feeling so confused
And I've even had a cry.

You lot are so supportive
And I know this sounds pathetic
But please tell me I am normal....
For hating being DIABETIC!
