Here is a poem that seems quite pathetic, about a bloke who was right diabetic.
When did it start and what did I do, Off To Docs as father was too.
Then tablets of white, square and then round were taken for years without raising a sound.
Those numbers came down,as I went to the nurse but after a while they start getting worse.

Not many out there were too sympathetic as most of the cause, is known as genetic.
No great improvement I just feared the worst Its really not helped when your dying of thirst.
Keep taking more tablets , some new ones are brown, Do what you can , get those numbers right down.
More test they did follow and I knew Im in trouble when my HBA score was now more than double.

You cannot eat this and do not drink that , you cannot be thin and dare not be fat.
Now this was quite funny as the Doctor so wise, was 25 stone and double my size?
So telling me this, near caused a riot,So I put him and his nurse on a very strict diet.
He then checked my feet and then checked my toes This Doctor of mine got right up my nose.


Keep taking those tablets I will find something new , Try these for a while I know they are blue.?
Those really worked well but what the heck , I then needed new tablets for my very stiff neck
So many tablets to get in my mouth but all of this time the numbers went south.
Tablets are for Moses, Dont make me weep , Ive cried out "Metformin" whilst deep into sleep.


All of this time was riddled with tension I wondered if . I would ever get to my pension.
The chemist I went to asked, if I was stuck These tablets, so many ?, Sir, delivered by truck.?
Now this sharp brained old man, once a real go getter, after ten years thought sadly, Im getting no better.
I think I ll try whiskey and brandy and lime, At least this way I might have a good time.


You cannot drink this and cannot eat fat, Boy was I tired of just hearing that.
I just wont give up ,like a dog with a bone ,I realized then that Im not all alone.
Millions of Deebees ,all taking their pill. Most of them really dont think they are ill.
Cream cakes ,cheese biscuits Chocolates Ice cream, All of them evil , or so it does seem.


By Blood pressures rising so with deep regret the above are all things I just had to forget.
Now Guess what you people ? If your getting bored I got tablets for BP to add to the hoard.
Cholestrols gone up ? They wanted it flat. You will never guess what ,yep tablets for that.  
So one day , ideas, like a bright shining light, I will leave that practice and try to get right.

No more Witch Doctor Black magic or nurse, I hope to get better or maybe not worse.
So I just did a runner , changed over one day To a bright shiny Practice just over the way.
No more waiting for days and long waits in rooms The receptionists, dont arrive on their brooms.
My eyesight went fuzzy It was getting poor Went into the Doctors To find out the score.


So just when Id set my sat nav to heaven, they told me , Im ill, not one hundred eleven.?
New Doctor , New nurses, more tests, some not good, I started to wonder My arms got no blood.?.
I still think of a cream cake and a buttered cream scone My new nurse just laughs, forget it, dream on.
Its Salad for breakfast ? what a a bad habit Your nose and ears twitch, just like a rabbit

So I now file my tablets in boxes, alphabetic , Medical wreck but an organized diabetic.
The Moral of this story , which is getting quite long. Keep takin the tablets What else can go wrong?
So what else is new, Well, In line with the Times?. They will develop a tablet, for any Poet that rhymes.

The stuff that Im on now is working alright In the end it was worth it Im glad I took flight
So I m taking more tablets ,Guess what to follow? All the tablets they give me, I forget now to swallow.?

Need a tablet for this now , to help me remember .On that long waiting list, Its out in September.
Well ? Im much better now, and now Im in luck , Medicine cabinet was empty but here comes the truck.
Finally now, Its sure getting worse. Theyve got a new tablet, ITS FOR FEAR OF A NURSE.
