Diabetes isn't funny. Unless you're Maggie Hunts.
A Houston comedian and motivational speaker diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes 27 years ago, Hunts uses humor and music to educate people about the disease.
Her show mixes jokes and song parodies about co-pays, prescriptions and insulin with medical facts about diabetes and information on managing it.
To encourage people to stick to a healthful lifestyle, for example, she sings a song to the tune of Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual" with the lyrics, It's not impossible to walk past the baker/It's not impossible to have one instead of three.
