Haiku-betes

I encourage you all to express your inner most diabetes experiences in the ancient artform of Japanese Haiku poetry.

The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables.

I ask that you please follow the format and keep all poems diabetes related.

Here's my example:

Error 3
Blood drips from the thumb
Touch strip early error tells
Meter not ready

Lose your hopes and fears
Don't look back and don't look ahead
Happiness is now

Despite the troubles,
Diabetes can be fun.

Feel dizzy and cold
Must check my sugar right now
Where are my Skittles

I lie here an addict
Waiting for the sweetness to return
My eyes
Rolled
Way back
