of this and that: Diabetic Reverie

Saturday, May 14, 2011

Whenever I wear this ring
I remember the ruby droplet of blood
on the fingertip
I pierce with a lancet
for my home blood test.

dipali said...: @chandni: Don't be sad! I'm lucky that mine is under control with oral medication, diet and exercise. My sis has been on insulin for some years now. Too much of it in our family. And you do get some good sugar free stuff now. Of course there's a lot I miss, but I guess I've had enough of those things.; May 19, 2011 at 3:04 PM
