Diabetes Poem

Our body is a cluster of organs,

they work in collaboration,

everything is connected.

We give in to temptations,

Which lead to inflammation

and body acidifications.

Diabetes shows up,

bringing with it:

loss of vision, nerve pain

to frequent urination.

You have medications,

to tame blood glucose concentration,

but they bring irritations —

even gallbladder stones.

Thickened blood leads to

poor circulation, and stroke

It can even result in

limb amputations.

So be wary

of excessive consumption

hormone disruption, and

immune activation

Follow moderation.

Diabetes is turning into an epidemic these days. Don’t think it’s purely genetic. It is very much a result of lifestyle and dietary choices. Awareness and discipline can keep you safe from this malady.
