I Am a Diabetic Champion
A diagnosis of type 1 diabetes is a daunting event. The new type 1 diabetic must learn a whole new vocabulary and daily routine that can seem overwhelming and even unattainable. This rhythmic poem reminds the diabetic that even though there are many people who will love and care, the one brave, intelligent, and clever person who will champion through is the diabetic himself or herself.
