[QUOTE="desidiabulum, post: 1130140, member: 39515"] [U]Ode to my fasting blood glucose level[/U] Behold my fasting BG score (High Court Judge of the night before): I’ve woken up with 8.1 And wonder what on earth I’ve done. What pleasures did I eat and sup To send my BGs so far up? No evil deeds my mind recalled To make my meter so appalled. How cruel – to bear the mark of greed Without the pleasures that precede! ‘It’s just the Dawn Phenomenon’ (I know the argument will run): The diabetic’s favourite ruse When morning blood sugars accuse. The answer (if one reads and looks) Is this: my diabetes sucks. The rules it simply won’t obey, No matter how I fast and pray. My dysfunctional pancreas Just likes to bite me in the ass. I know today will be a blast: I’ll exercise, low-carb and fast And skimp on everything I crave To make my blood sugars behave. And should next morning’s fasting score Display an 8 or even more, It’s clearer what this must betoken: My monitor is surely broken. [/QUOTE]
