Diabetes trait/gene

[Kotlol]

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

I know about type 1 and type 2 diabetes and how they are obtained. Note that type 2 isn't always fat related either.. but does have a higher chance, like cancer.

But hey... how do we make sure this trait is type 1 or type 2?
If we do type 1 and a robo pancreas can fix it.. guess what? It's a minus trait. If your minus trait can be fixed by replacing an organ it's not that much of a MINUS TRAIT.
Sure some traits can be fixed by mutations and the such too, but that takes time or requires something to be on you. So from a gameplay stand point, you gain 1 skill point and the only thing you need to do is get 1 organ replaced. Deeds done. You might as well just spawn with a robo-pancreas or some robo-parts wich does have the downside of being weak to EMPs...wich are well "rare" to be used on human charaters.

But... do we really wanna add this idea if it can be fixed by "replacements"?
From a logic standpoint it, it doesn't make sense in the future to have diabetes either since you can have it treated it cheaply apperently.
