Diabetes Week 12th to the 16th June
The 12th to the 16th June was diabetes week,
There are around four million cases in the UK to treat,
There's type one diabetes, and type two,
It's a far more serious illness, than I ever knew.
Blood pressure checks, blood glucose, and cholesterol tests,
Some alcohol is allowed, but no smoking is best,
Insulin is required to treat this disease,
Exercise is recommended and eat sensible please.
Talking about feelings to family and friends, can be beneficial to you,
Or joining a walking club, gardening or dancing to,
By restricting foods high in salt, sugar, and this will be helpful to,
And by keeping active, this will assist with anxiety and stress, and help you sleep the whole night through.
