In a medical emergency
sugar does the trick
sometimes you need it
a sweet chocolate hit.
So keep this pack with you
and take if in need
but check with your doctor
before you proceed.

Since you're a diabetic
I'm sure that you know
That when feeling kinda woozy
That your sugar count is low
So chew a couple candies
To help your sugar rise
But remember to only eat them
If you feel the need arise
