Sleeping at night brings pleasurable dreams my way
Dreaming of sugar-filled treats most every single day
Tasting a doughnut filled with vanilla cream
Allowing my sweet tooth to sample a dream
Advising the doughnut to vanish and scamper away
Appearing next, freshly baked cookies wish to stay
Smelling the melted chocolate and cookie dough
Rolling over, my taste buds scream out to know
Dashing dreams of cookies, a delicious pie arrives
Looking at coconut cream is a mammoth surprise
Tossing in bed, my mouth anticipates the sweetest taste
Cruising into my dream, appears a cake—freshly baked
Licking my lips, velvety-rich chocolate cake will be my fate
Sampling the moisture-rich texture seems a perfect mate
Closing my fantasy suddenly, my mind stirs awake
Remembering to manage my sugars is no mistake
Envisioning so many tantalizing, indulging treats
Controlling sugar levels will be a bitter-filled feat
Using humor is one way that I have taken control of my Type 2 diabetic condition. I have pretty much abstained from sugar-filled treats (some of my past favorites are described in the poem). Presently, I am no longer considered pre-diabetic, but I continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper eating, taking meds, and exercising.
