I wrote this and posted it a few years ago on TuD, some of you may have seen it.
D Night Before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse
I had just settled down and was so soundly sleeping
When all of the sudden my CGM started beeping
I arose from my slumber and looked at the screen
With down pointing arrows I am low it does seem
As I sat in the kitchen treating my low
I can’t help but notice the beauty of the new fallen snow.
With BG recovered I head back to my bed
When I come across a gentleman all dressed in red
Forgive Dear Santa I’m not here to spy
Diabetes required attention I hope you understand why
I know you my child and I know of your burden
There was a tear in his eye of this I am certain
I remember your wishes from so long ago
That I can not fulfill them still troubles me so
To change you this night is not within my power
If my magic could cure I would do so this hour
Thank you Dear Santa, I know you must take flight
With so many children to visit this night
With this he did exit my humble home
Off into the night in his sleigh he did roam
I heard him exclaim as he rode out of sight
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT
