Laughing Matters

When you have diabetes, it can be hard to find something to laugh about. Daily tasks such as testing glucose levels, counting carbs, injecting insulin or taking medications, and complications such as kidney disease or retinopathy make diabetes a very serious disease. But laughter and a positive attitude are good medicine and have been proven to benefit your health. Learning to find the humor in your diabetes can help you cope and make those overwhelming tasks feel more manageable.
