Viewers had mixed reactions to the moment. Many recognized it as obvious satire fitting his comedic brand. Others questioned whether the joke crossed a line given diabetes affects millions worldwide.
Diabetes is a serious medical condition with two primary forms. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease where the pancreas produces little to no insulin. Type 2 develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin over time. Both require proper medical management.
