Diabetes is a roller coaster ride, with an unwilling rider.

Just one of the many times a day that I check my blood sugar. I check my blood sugar 10+ times a day.

If my pancreas worked properly, I wouldn’t need help to know when my blood sugar is low.

I don’t always wear a knights’ helmet when I fight my battles, but sometimes I feel I should. I am always at battle with diabetes. Trying to control something that doesn’t want to be controlled.

If only I could be like Dorothy and click my heels together and say “there’s no place like home” and be free from diabetes.
