Ode to My Diet Coke

Articles - Diabetes Articles
Sunday, 10 October 2010 01:10

Nectar of the gods, I salute thee.

I take a swig
and am transported

far beyond the world of SWAG boluses and fingersticks

to a simpler moment
to a simpler time
when none of it mattered
and a Coke was a Coke, not a nutritional nightmare

diabetes-free
yet diabetes friendly

It is addicting
It is powerful
It is a force of nature
It hits my blood stream like a glass of Orange Juice on a 55 mg/dl, & I am revived.

oh fountain of carbonated goodness

pure
odorless
flowing
swirling
enchanting


immersing my taste buds in an explosion of delight

the crack for the crack-less
the energy for the sleep deprived
the icing for a non-existent cupcake

this I want, this I need, this I crave
(addicted much? umm, yes)

I will raise my glass, and drink, to you.
