For all children with Type 1 diabetes....
T'was a Type 1 night before Christmas, by Lisa Lewis
T'was the Night before Christmas at our house this year
Mom, Dad and the boys were full of good cheer.
Both of the boy's blood sugars were stable
Diet soda and beef jerky were spread on the table
When what to my sleep deprived ears do I hear..
"mom, I don't feel good...my pump site's out I fear"
He dashed to the bathroom, to throw up a bit
While I searched through the house for the blood sugar kit
His ketones are large, we place a new site
and give extra insulin this christmas eve night.
Then tuck into bed and a wish for sweet dreams
and "don't worry, cause I'll check your sugar at three"
Then from down the hall another small voice
who says he feels low and quick sugars a must
The accucheck says 50 we must get something sweet
a small candy cane is the perfect christmas treat
He gets a small snack to keep blood sugars stable
while mom clears the used test strips from off of the table
So this Christmas eve one thing is for sure
What we want most for Christmas is ... a DIABETES CURE!
