If a movie was being made about your life and you had to choose a song that would represent your life with diabetes, what song (and artist if applicable) would you choose?
I Hope You Dance by Leann Womack
I like this song…and it may not seem like much. But it helps me realize I should not let having Diabetes hold me back from anything. I can do anything that anybody else can do, though it may involve some extra steps.
This is the first one I could think of…
“I get knocked down but I get up again, you’re never gonna keep me down” Chumbawumba
Tracks of My Tears, by SMokey Robinson
something by the sexiest diabetic singer alive…Brett Michaels
haha
“Badlands” or “The Promised Land” by Bruce Springsteen
Spirit In The Sky by Norman Greenbaum
How about, I Will Survive? (I believe that’s a Gloria Gaynor tune?)
Resist, by Rush.
Pray For Grace
By Michael Franti & Spearhead
Why must I feel like this today?
I’m a soldier but afraid sometimes
To face the things that may
Block the sun from shinin’ rays
And fill my life with shades of grey
But still I long to find a way
So today I pray for grace
Blackbird
Corner of the Sky from Pippen. This has always been the song I felt represented my journey.
Oh sister, that is a great one! I am teaching my niece old Beatle songs, but I think those lyrics would be too complex. Right now we’re working on Good Day SUnshine and Love Me Do.
Mick I love’d that! TD has really introduced me to a lot of artists that I’ve never heard of…duh…(yes, I’m stuck in the late '70’s with Dylan and Van Morrison).
Well you guys at tu now know I am a Disneynut. I would have to say A Whole new world from Aldain. Or Voice of truth by casting crowns, Or I CAN ONLY IMAGINE. OK ! Thats three but they all have meaning to me! So you heard of fab five on cell phones . This is my top three
This song just hits me in the funny bone. This is how I would feel if I weren’t pancreatically dysfunctional. How does Weird Al know so much about the pancreas? Is he one of us?
“Pancreas”
Oooh oooh oooh ee-oooh oooh oooh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh-oooh oooh
Oooooh
I’m always thinkin’ 'bout it
I don’t know what I’d do without it
I love, I really love
My pancreas
My spleen just doesn’t matter
Don’t really care about my bladder
But I don’t leave home without
My pancreas
My pancreas is always
There for me
Ahh-oooh
Secreting those enzymes (bap bap bap)
Secreting those hormones too
Metabolizing carbohydrates
Just for me
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba
My pancreas
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba
My pancreas
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba
My pancreas
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba
My pancreas
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba
My pancreas
Ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba-ba ba
My pancreas
Ooooooh
My pancreas attracts every other
Pancreas in the universe
With a force proportional
To the product of their masses
And inversely proportional
To the distance between them
Woo woo woo woo
Don’tcha you know you gotta
Flow, flow, flow, pancreatic juice

…but it represents me and diabetes a bit.
Kathy, somehow as I have aged I have lost being up on all music, just had this discussion at work on Friday.
Oh there are so many… a soundtrack means more that one, right??? One is by Reba McEntire called I’m a Survivor. Another by Sugarland, Stand Back Up. Another is Anyway by Martina McBride, Have A Nice Day by Bon Jovi, One Day Closer To You by Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Top of My Lungs by Phillips, Craig, and Dean. I could go on, but I’d take all day. 
And you guys would all get sick of listening to me.
