How would diabetes and the age of cars link in any way?

?

Explain the connection to a vehicle using an internal combustion engine (or a battery pack) and someone with diabetes. Because I don't see any connection.

What do diabetics use? Insulin. Why? Sugar level issues. What do insulin and sugar do? They help provide energy to the body. What else provides energy? Batteries. What uses batteries and also has a body? Cars.

This wouldn’t be an issue if everybody threw their car batteries in the ocean to maintain nature’s power cycle instead of “recycling” them at autozone.

Put sugar in your gas tank? Less diabetes! I found a cure!
