Diabetes trait/gene

[George_Manning]

While I can see this being fun, I feel like people would be really gross with it and use it to roleplay a "fat character" or something like that.

Not all diabetics are "fat". Some, like myself, just roll bad in the gene lottery and get it at a random point in our lives. This is called Type 1 Diabetes, and could easily be added without encouraging fatness. As a bonus, a robotic pancreas would cure irl type 1, so it could prove an ingame way to balance out the trait, making the cyberpancreas a sought after item

 HOWEVER HOWEVER, think this sounds like it could be made into an interesting mechanic where you have to actively manage blood sugar/insulin levels or risk worsening the disease to something deadly.

As a diabetic, this is actually a kind of what IRL diabetes management is like, it's almost a game at times. Granted, not a very fun one, but managing stuff does feel like a strategy game sometimes
