In the silent depths where shadows play,
Hypoglycemia finds its way,
A stealthy thief in the night,
Stealing strength, dimming light.
Glucose, our body's lifeblood, pure,
Falls too low, we're insecure.
Energy wanes, symptoms arise,
A trembling frame, unfocused eyes.
For those with diabetes, aware,
Insulin's touch can snare,
Dropping sugar swift and steep,
Into a restless, shaky sleep.
But not just those in diabetic plight,
Others too may face this fight.
Medications, alcohol's embrace,
Critical illnesses take their place.
Hormones fail, the body wanes,
Skipping meals brings hunger pains.
Excess exertion, unbalanced gain,
All lead to hypoglycemic strain.
Sweat beads on the brow, heart races,
Dizziness in familiar places.
Irritability, confusion’s haze,
Blurred vision in a foggy daze.
Fatigue sets in, a heavy weight,
Headaches that won’t abate.
Severe cases bring the night,
Loss of self, in dark’s plight.
To counteract this sudden drop,
Quick sugar fixes make it stop.
Glucose tablets, juice, or sweets,
Honey’s touch, the heart’s beats.
For those who battle every day,
Monitoring’s the safest way.
Meals and snacks, a balanced plan,
Following the doctor’s careful scan.
Preparedness in every stride,
Fast-acting carbs by the side.
Avoid excess, a mindful drink,
Exercise with thoughtful link.
In the realm of blood’s deep sea,
Hypoglycemia is key.
A condition needing care,
With vigilance, we’re aware.
