Gestational Diabetes with a sense of humor...

One of my good friends came up with the funniest term for Gestational Diabetes. She calls it the “Fetus ‘Betus” which stems from the Liberty Mutual diabetes commercials on TV with Wilford Brimley. The way he pronounces diabetes cracks us up “diabetus” with a drawn out southern drawl, thus the “Fetus ‘Betus”.
So from that I came up with a goofy little “Fetus ‘Betus” ditty. Now, I’m no author or lyricist but I do think I’m pretty damn funny! You’ve got to think of these “lyrics” to the beat of a bluesy rhythm.

I can’t eat cookies…
What can you do?

I can’t eat cake…
Well, what can you do?

I prick my fingers…
Oh, eeew!

And watch my carbs…
That’s not fun!

So I ain’t got to take
No insulin…

I got the blues…
The what?

The diabetes blues…
The who?

I’ve got the Fetus ‘Betus Blues…
For real?

Yes, the gestational diabetes blues!
Oh NO!

LOL, I crack myself up!
