Type 1 Mom Song

Lyrics:

Count your carbs,

Get your kit

What’s your blood glucose?

Wash your hands,

Dry them off

get a finger to poke

Press and squeeze

Get it out

Are you in good range?

Tell me NOW, what does your meter say.

If you’re high,

Get a stick,

And well… use the loo

Drink some water

please relax

And wait a few

Check again,

Yes it’s time,

Where’d you leave it last?

Get it NOW! Where’s your sugar at?

Get a snack

Pack your bag

Don’t leave a single thing behind you know we can’t go back

Set your pump

Or syringe

To the proper place, we must get it straight

When you’re sick, it’s a wash

and then we’re beat

It doesn’t matter what you’ve eat

listen up

blood sugar, it’s a beast

has no respect

Not in the least…

If you feel too dizzy,

Get nauseous,

Or can’t see straight

You must take a quick stick, some OJ, or Gatorade!

The fun,

Or the sun

Another day gone mad,

Now let’s go check

Before it’s bed…

2am

I’m up,

To check on you

If you’re good

You know

I’m sending you

To school

To the park,

Your best friend’s house

Don’t get up

I’m quiet as a mouse

Where the light

Where’s your hand

I will search the sheet

A wet swab to clean it up so neat

No more trips, or visits to the Emergency

I don’t want an IV to go back up your arm, keep you from harm

I want you home, with no keytones

So drink some water, more now more, another sip a little more?…

Pray hard Find help

And good support Don’t let diabetes sink your boat

It’s a fight

Armor up

Battle on ahead

Don’t give up

Now raise your head

see past the dread

Keep the faith Stay strong

We are the moms

our kids Need us to see what's wrong!

 They have life,

they have you

to get them through-

this yucky DISEASE, that’s oh so new. every moment,

make it count

because it’s life

and we must lead

them through this strife

and we know that it’s day to day

and moms like us must find a way

To share and care in love for those who don’t

Think it will ever think will get to them,

Just like me, just like you- Just like our, TYPE ONES, TYPE ONES, TYPE ONES!

Above is a collection of our friends we've met online through the D.O.C (diabetic online community). We are not alone and neither are you! There are many misunderstandings and misrepresentations of this disease, so my video was made for fun, and for awareness purposes...All the things I find myself saying or doing everyday to keep my insulin-dependant son alive on an hourly basis. Our son was diagnosed with Juvenile Auto-Immune Type 1 Diabetes Jan of 2012. He nearly lost his life to the disease. Our best friend lost her life a month later to it, so I am passionate to educate. Thank you for being KIND! I am not a singer, but I love to songwrite...Blessings to you on your journey please visit ours: www.seansjourney.org "William Tell Overture" by Em K
