Now, diabetes is no laughing matter, don’t get me wrong. But, at the same time, if you can’t laugh at it what can you do?
I’m a great believer in making light of situations wherever possible, and one of the best ways to do this is with a joke every now and then. Whether that’s because you’ve gone real low and you’re stressing out your partner or loved ones or even if your diabetic friend’s blood sugar reading is through the roof and they’re frustrated by what they’re seeing.
This page is designed to be a one stop shop for the best diabetes jokes around. They’re not all mine, in fact hardly any of them are, but instead they have been collected from the depths of the internet and deposited into one easy to find location here.
I also appreciate some of you guys might find this a little insensitive, possibly a little crass. That’s ok too, there are days when making light of a situation isn’t the right thing to do and, if you’re having one of those days, please feel free to jump over to another page on the blog.
This page of diabetic jokes isn’t designed to upset anyone, in fact it’s only meant to encourage a giggle or two!
