There's nothing funny about this, but even Artie Lange can make light out of a scary situation.

The famous comedian, who is best known for his time on The Howard Stern Show and the comedy sketch series MADtv, was taken to a Detriot hospital after going into a diabetic shock earlier today, but the funnyman is seemingly in good spirits—at least, judging by his tweets.

Lange, who posted a photo of himself in a hospital bed, wrote, "In the hospital outside of Detroit after going into diabetic shock. Trying to get better. Sorry for missing gigs...Love you guys"

And then he followed with, "No worries. My road mgr Tim is with me. Homosexual men are great caretakers!"

Lange, host of The Artie Lange Show, is currently on tour doing stand-up. His next show is scheduled for Saturday, April 19, in Los Angeles, however it is unclear whether he'll be able to perform or not.

Here's to a speedy recovery!
