And so, with great pride and confidence that I am not, in fact, crazy, I present the song I hatched during tonight’s workout.
(To be sung lovingly and loudly to the tune of O Tannenbaum.)
O Pancreas
O pancreas, O pancreas,
Why did you have to leave us?
Since you’ve been gone we now rely,
On insulin called PZI
O pancreas, O pancreas,
Why did you have to leave us?
O pancreas, O pancreas,
Sometimes you rear your head
And when you do, blood glucose drops,
So I give food to make it stop
O pancreas, O pancreas,
Sometimes you rear your head
Try TID, try BID
Or change the dose, no guarantees
Tomorrow morn, she could be high
Or might be low, I can’t deny
That even now I have no clue
From day to day just what she’ll do
O pancreas, O pancreas,
Why did you have to leave us?
refrain...
