Diabetes Kills

I don't get this ad. Maybe because I don't know enough about the subject. Maybe because I can't read the signoff on the top. Is that a bee? Bee. Honey. Sugar. Am I on the right track? Help me if you can solve this puzzle.

hmm... ants love sweets. our sugar containers at home are usually attacked by ants. diabetes = blood sugar. ants + too much sugar = diabetes

I think that the animal is a ant. The ants work very hard. Always collecting food for the winter. What is one of the things they like the most? Sugar. I iamgine they want to do this analogy ;)

The common indication of diabetes is that sugar is in the urine and if there a lot of ants in the bathroom it means someone has diabetes

diabetes = blood sugar. too much sugar in your blood can kill.
Dead Ant = Ants eat sugar, they like a lot of sugar, and too much sugar for ant... Sugar can kill, that's the message.

Er. Judging by the comments, apparently the ad didn't do the job. I didn't get it either. Takes you 360 degrees just end up with a stupid methaphor, left me with "Oh, that's it".

I understand the concept, but what's with the overwhelming white space?

That's the sugar ant (Camponotus consobrinus). Seems like there's a biologist working in the office...

i thought that it was a picture of a very very fat person that didn't fit on the page. it was too disappointing to find out about the ant. way too s l o w for an ad.
