btw all your favorite characters have type 1 diabetes, it’s just not mentioned in canon because they’re so good at managing their blood sugar that it never comes up

Have we celebrated son gojo first bday yet?

oh! for his first birthday, you and gojo put together this little party with your closest friends coming in the attendance!!🥹 your baby is so plump and the cutest in his high seat—satoru ordered a miniature baby throne chair online just to sit your baby on it🤭

“he is a copy of gojo, it’s actually scary,” shoko mumbles, pinching your son’s chubby cheeks as he babbles at her. she finds herself smiling despite herself before turning to you. “i can’t believe you really gave birth to his spawn.”

“hey, rude!” satoru takes clear offense, swatting her hand away from your unsuspecting baby. “it’s a blessing to have my looks, you know!”

nanami sighs at the exchange, before handing you his gift, a set of baby blankets and pillows. “i hope he grows up well-behaved…”

you smile, thanking him. “so far, he’s been a pleasant company whenever satoru’s away… thank god that he definitely doesn’t inherit his cheeky personality.”

satoru turns to you, visibly dejected. “wifey…? not you too!”

and as the little party goes into full swing, you can only shake your head when your husband steps up his shenanigans—

“ichiji! i told you to bow your head before my son!”

“o-okay!”

“lower!”

and maybe to outsider’s eyes, gojo satoru is probably a deadbeat parent who is smug about his son, but it’s only you—his wife, who knows that he actually cherishes him so much as later that night, your heart warms when you see him dozing off with your sweet baby beside him, a protective hand on his tummy.

Diabetic Copia.

Copia was diagnosed as a young person, so he's always kinda... Dealt with it.

However, that doesn't mean he doesn't have the occasional slip up.

His ghouls can smell when his blood sugar is too high, and when it's too low. They'll go annoy him until it's fixed because it smells really bad to them.

Copia has caught Dew huffing his insulin before. Apparently it smells nice.

The ghouls all scramble over each other to replace Copia's Dexcom. They say it's fun to stab it into his arm.

Copia has a mini fridge on the bus just filled with his insulin and juiceboxes. Nobody is allowed to take the juiceboxes from the fridge, in case he goes low.

Just... Copia laid on a sofa backstage, still in costume, one ghoul holding his feet up to get the blood back in his head, grumpily sucking on an apple juice because he burned too much energy while dancing around on stage and ended up collapsing.

Marvel Women x Diabetic!Reader HCs:

When your blood sugar is low

Characters: Kate Bishop, Natasha Romanoff, Maria Hill, Wanda Maximoff, Carol Danvers

A/N: this can be read as platonic or romantic! Also, world diabetes day was last week, but here we are.

Kate Bishop:

Before you met, the food scene at Kate’s apartment was dismal

The only things she ever really kept on hand were boxed Mac and cheese, microwave popcorn, and chocolate bars

Now, (in addition to real food and snacks you can eat more regularly) Kate’s apartment is filled with all of your favorite carb-filled, high glycemic index snacks and drinks

When you go low, she’s immediately offering you everything under the sun

If your favorites are from abroad, she WILL order them, shipping costs be damned

If you’re having a super mild hypo, she’ll pop downstairs and grab you a slice of pizza

Kate Bishop is a bit of a hoverer

Constantly checking in to make sure your sugar levels aren’t going down further

She HATES waiting 15 minutes to see if you’re back above 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L)

Lowkey more anxious about it than you sometimes

“Are you sure you’re not going to collapse?”

“Kate, I’m only at 68, and I had a snack. I’m fine.”

“That is not fine!”

Natasha Romanoff:

Natasha is super observant (obviously, she’s a spy)

Seems to know you’re going low before you do

Will tell you to check your blood sugar because she’s noticing you look a little shaky and out of it

Other times will rummage through your bag and hand you a pack of gummies just as you’re about to tell her you feel low

She keeps little hard candies/gels hidden in the most random places for you

Once you were out and she pulled a candy from a pocket in her shirt you didn’t realize was there

Will never force you to do anything, but will give you her hardest stare if you don’t immediately treat your low (especially if you wear a continuous glucose monitor [cgm])

“I don’t even feel shaky, and you know this thing sometimes shows false lows,”

“I can tell you’re about to go low. Here, drink this.”

“Where were you hiding a juice pouch?!”

“I have a lot of things hidden on my body,”

“IS THAT A GRENADE??”

Maria Hill:

When she found out you were diabetic, Maria did a whole bunch of research, including on the signs of hypoglycemia and how to treat it

She has your lows down to a science

If you have a cgm, she definitely has the app on her phone so it tells her when you’re going low

If the cgm says you’re low, but you don’t feel the symptoms, she makes you check with the finger stick

Has things portioned so each serving has exactly 15 grams of carbs

Makes sure you eat a more substantial snack with protein in it once you’re back in range

Keeps a journal of the dates/times you go low and how effectively different treatments work for you

“I think you should start having an afternoon snack. I’ve noticed you have the most hypoglycemic incidents an hour or two before dinner.”

“Hmm, okay. But only if you take a break and have a snack with me.”

“If that’s what it takes, deal.”

Wanda Maximoff:

Wanda is an even bigger worrier than Kate

She’s lost so many people in her life, and she’ll be damned if she lets you die from something she can directly stop

She keeps a closer eye on your blood sugar than you do

Like Maria, if you have a cgm she has the app to track

Wanda makes sure EVERY alarm is turned on and at the highest volume

When you go out, she carries more snacks than you do

If you have glucagon, Wanda keeps a dose with her, even if you also have one on you

The instant she knows you’re low there is a candy in your hand (before you can even access your own stash)

“If that doesn’t do it, I have three juice boxes, two packs of fruit gummies, and about two dozen hard candies in my bag,”

“Geez, Wanda. That sounds heavy. Which one of us is diabetic again?”

“I just want to make sure you’re okay!”

“Sorry, I know. Thank you for caring so much about me.”

“Of course.”

Carol Danvers: 

You go low while on Carol’s ship once, and she gives you juice from an alien planet and it’s the most amazing thing you’ve ever tasted

She finds out how much you like it and goes back to the planet just to buy it for you so she always has some on her ship

Forget a phone app, Carol has low glucose alerts hooked up to all of her tech no matter what technology you use

She somehow managed to get your finger stick connected to her suit and her ship

If she happens to be off-world and she gets an alert about you going low, she stops what she’s doing to text you

But if she’s “close,” no matter where she is on Earth (or near it) when you go low she will use her super speed to get to you, even if you assure her your fine

“Carol, you really didn’t have to leave your meeting with Fury for this. I have my own snacks.”

“I know, but I’m planetside and I have that juice you like.”

“Thanks for always taking care of me.”

“Of course, I’ll always be here when you need me.”

[glitchedgirly]

I just realized something kinda mindblowing abt q!etoiles' lore! There's actually a semi-canon explanation for his diabetes; it's just not surface level apparent.

I was chillin and watchin a video (this one) abt writing. In the middle (abt 3 mins in), Red goes off on a side tangent abt how the amount of sugars produced by a theoretically photosynthetic human would be abt 4x more sugar than the human body could provide, which is essentially the starting point for diabetes. (source? im diabetic)

It's been repeatedly stated in qsmp that Etoiles isn't human. Instead, he's a cucumber hybrid. What exactly this means (other than green skin) is left pretty vague… However, Etoiles being photosynthetic isn't exactly an uncommon headcanon. It logically and scientifically follows that the excess sugar created by the photosynthesis plus any carbs that etoiles eats plus any sugars that are naturally created in his body would be more than enough to cause serious medical issues and warrant the use of insulin and a diabetes diagnosis

obvi, I realize that the main explanation of why q!etoiles is diabetic is because cc!etoiles is diabetic, but I think that it's cool that there's a possible in-world explanation as well (aside from him just getting the short end of the stick) What are y'all's thoughts?

TLDR: q!etoiles is diabetic bc he's a cucumber hybrid and possibly photosynthetic which overloads his body with sugars

[phoenixyfriend]

Diabetic Zoro, is that anything?

[starregulus]

anytime Andrew is making anything that he has to add sugar to (coffee/tea/baking etc) he always eats like a spoonful after he puts it in there

literally "some for you and then some for me"

also he always steals those sugar packets you get at diners and stuff and just keeps them in his car to just eat whenever he needs a sweet treat

[mydark-impulse]

STSG MISSION HEADCANON !!

Gojo saw Geto violently vomiting after swallowing a curse after one of their missions and bought him mochi thinking it would be sweet enough to distract him from the ‘vomit’ taste. Now whenever Gojo goes on a solo mission he orders 2 of anything obnoxiously sweet for him and Suguru. Suguru finds his new habit endearing and ALWAYS eats whatever satoru brings him without fail. He’d rather be sick over stupidly sweet snacks from Satoru and looks forward to him relieving his stress of curses. 

…after Suguru goes AWOL Gojo finds himself still buying extra sweets but even little megumi finds it too sweet :(

Ledger!Joker x Diabetic Reader Headcanons

Warnings: Medical stuff, needles/injections (it’s not very descriptive though), slight NSFW mention (labeled at the bottom)

A/N: Heya! I’ve never posted something like this before haha…Kinda new to it and very nervous so don’t judge me too harshly. I actually write quite often but rarely post it, however I really wanna start trying to put my work out there more. Keyword try. 

Anyway, fun fact about me, I have T1 diabetes. I haven't seen anything about that with J so I decided to make my own headcanons and such :) Sooooo here’s that lol…enjoy??

You had been diagnosed with T1 diabetes three years ago. You hated it. The needles, the upkeep, the blood, the appointments. It’s scary, a living nightmare for you.

You were still in your…adjusting phase, and didn’t like talking about your diabetes to anyone. Joker was no exception

So, naturally, J took matters into his own hands and did his own research, learning as much as he could about diabetes (without you knowing, of course). How it works, the high and low blood sugar levels, how to manage it, he even figured out how the insulin pump that you have operates. 

You were shocked the day he offered to change the infusion set for you and knowing how to do so. He ignored you when you asked him how he knew.

You were hesitant but quick to give in and let him inject the cannula into your stomach. He hugged you from behind as he did so; you melted into his touch and your fears were comforted. From that day on you opened up more and more about your medical life to J and allowed his help. 

He enjoys being the one to inject the cannula and dexcom, however he still forces you to do it yourself at times, as to make sure you aren’t getting too used to being dependent on someone else. You’re a strong and brave bunny, he wants to remind you of that. 

He will tease you about your dexcom and infusion sets, saying you must be part machine. 

“I’m uh, still convinced you’re a cyborg.” “J!!”

He also forces you to stay on a healthy diet and keeps track of your sugar intake carefully. He’s definitely not a hypocrite. He rarely lets you eat junk food, even though you’re allowed to and tried explaining that to him

“The doctors told me it’s okay if I eat sugar now and then, as long as I have the insulin for it. It’s the sugary drinks I need to avoid more.” 

J doesn’t buy it, nor does he trust your doctor's input. “Mmm. Nuh uh. Can’T have my little bunny go falling into a coma, hm?” You know he’s just concerned about you (even if he’d never outright admit it), so overtime you stopped arguing with him and avoided junk food to ease his mind. Just don’t let him catch you eating it behind his back.

J absentmindedly fidgets with your insulin tube. Rubbing along it, flicking it around, twirling it around his finger, even constantly feeling the cannula end of it against your stomach as if to reassure himself you that it’s still on and doing its job. Don’t worry, he’s only accidentally ripped it out once or twice, and he certainly makes it up to you when that happens. 

Having a low, but forgot sugar to combat it? Not to worry! Joker keeps a juice box or two in his suit juuuust for you. He’s even stacked packages of juices in your pantry so you’ll have plenty. (Don’t ask whether he bought or stole them, you already know the answer)

The low blood sugar episodes hit you hard, but you’ve found curling up on J’s lap and cuddling against his chest while sipping on juice is very comforting. He’ll stroke your hair and rub your back, holding you closer whenever you shake and cry.

“Shhhh sh sh sh. It’s nothin’ you haven’t beaten before. It’ll pass, angel.” 

You hate looking at your stomach and seeing the previous holes and scars from constant injections. J will run his thumb over them and kiss each of them to comfort you. 

Whenever you have a headache or any symptoms, J will immediately interrogate you about your blood sugar level

“Not every pain I get is caused by my diabetes.”

“Shuuuuush. What’re levels right now? Let me uh, lemme see your pum-p. Give. Right. Now.” 

If you’re low on insulin and the pharmacist is late to sending you new vials, J will meet with them personally to have a little chat. 

He’ll then come home and plop the bag of new vials theatrically down on the counter. “Tadaaaa! More insulin for my sweet little sugar cube.”

“Oh, thank you J! Wow, they gave me a lot this time…” 

NSFW:

During the ✨devils tango✨, J will occasionally rip the cannula out by accident. He’ll immediately put a pin in your lovemaking session to get you a new one. Even if you insist you could go an hour or two without it, he’s not taking any chances. After all, where’s the fun in sex if your partner is dying from a seizure??

“J, I promise it’s okay! We don’t have to sto-”

“Now now gumdrop. I know you’re, heh, eager for me, but my patient needs her medicine first.” 

You’re grateful you don’t have to deal with your disability alone anymore. Who knew the Clown Prince of Crime could be such a good caretaker?

Papamin Propaganda #6:

[A regular conversation between Armin and his daughter on a breezy spring day]

Smol baby girl: Papa, how come you never change your hairstyle? Uncle Jean and Uncle Reiner all look so different from the old photographs, but why didn't you change it?

Armin: Well, your mother likes it better this way. It looked different, some years ago. It was parted in the middle, but I changed it back to this one.

Smol baby girl: Is that when the Great Divorce of 857 happened?

Armin (laughing): Who told you that?

Smol baby girl: Mom did.

Armin: Well... She can be a little dramatic sometimes.

Smol baby girl: Mom says you're the dramatic one, not her.

Armin (smiling): I guess I'm going to have to take that up with her then.

Smol baby girl: Are you going to fight again?

Armin: Maybe. But we always end up talking things out.

Smol baby girl: Papa, why does mom always press on this? (Leans forward and pokes his adam's apple)

Armin (laughing again): I think she just really likes to do it, that's all.

Smol baby girl: (violently poking and prodding at his throat)

Armin: What, do you like it too?

Smol baby girl: I think so. It's so... Pr..protru...

Armin: Protruding?

Smol baby girl: Yep!

Armin: (gives her a tight bear hug and she squeals in happiness)

Smol baby girl: Papa, how come you have so many scratches on your back?

Armin (now panicking): Alright, that's enough picnic for today!

[Later that night, in their bedroom after their daughter is asleep]

Armin (innocently): ... So she asked me today why there's so many scratches on my back.

Annie (almost inhaling her glass of water): What? When did she see that?

Armin (shrugging): Don't know. Maybe yesterday morning when she wanted me to teach her a word in her book. I was getting dressed, I think.

Annie: ...

Armin (now grinning): I didn't tell her it was all her mom's work.

Annie (blushing and scowling): Hey!

Armin (starting to laugh): You're so cute, Annie. And our daughter's just the same.

i can't stop thinking about diabetic Copia. I hate to be that person, but maybe some more diabetic Copia? 👉👈

Sure!

Copia has a habit of going high when it comes to his blood sugars. He loves carbs, what can he say?

If he does go high, all of the ghouls scrunch up their noses and pull faces. Poor Rain gags at the smell every time, walks off until Copia fixes his bloods. To them, it smells sickly sweet. They can smell the pheromones on Copia's body, on his breath.

When Copia goes high, he gets really dizzy, his head aches, and he's parched. Seeing Copia chug bottles of water outside of performing are sure signs that his sugars are high.

If he's on tour, he'll usually lay down on a sofa backstage (before the show, but after he's eaten) and hold an arm over his eyes, wait for the room to stop spinning.

The ghouls never stay away from him for long, so they come marching into his dressing room soon after, with a view to annoy Copia. But they all freeze as soon as they smell his scent.

Rain gags and walks straight back out. Aether and Cirrus both look at each other and sigh tiredly. Swiss goes "Fuck!" exasperatedly. Mountain mumbles that he has his backup Copia Kit (that's what they call his glucometer kit) always on his person, if needed. Cumulus tuts in sympathy, while covering her nose with her hand. Dew grumbles in frustration.

"Papa, do you know you're high?"

"No, no, I just have a headache..."

"What did you have for dinner?"

"Carbonara... Garlic bread..."

"PAPA."

"It tasted too good, I couldn't resist. It was just a little treat..."

"Did you do your shot before eating?"

"Ehhh... The food came quicker than planned, I didn't have time..."

"PAPA. You always have time."

"Yes, yes..." (dismissive hand wave)

Aether sits by Copia on the sofa, uses the lance from Mountain's kit to check his bloods. They all know he's high, but they can't pinpoint the exact glucose concentration in his blood. Aether always has a little game in his head, he tries to predict Copia's sugar levels before it flashes up on the screen. This time, he predicted 8.5 and Copia was 8. Close, and thankfully not as bad as he thought.

In the meantime, Dew starts to prep Copia's insulin while grumbling in annoyance to himself. Copia knows what will send him into a hyper, and yet occasionally, he still eats carbs and sugars like a starved man.

They always make sure there's a bottle of insulin in the minifridge in Copia's dressing room, and a sharps box on one of the counters. A couple of venue staff have given him weird looks for having a sharps container in his dressing room out of context.

While Aether takes Copia's bloods, he tells Dew exactly how much insulin needs to be drawn up. They're all trained in what to do if Copia goes into a hypo or a hyper, but having Aether there, who's a Ministry infirmary medic when he's not touring, helps keep them on track.

The other ghouls stand close by Copia, wanting to show that they're there for him, but unable to get too close due to the smell. Cumulus steps over, her shirt pulled up over her nose and mouth, and strokes Copia's hair soothingly. She's pulling a face behind the shirt, and keeps coughing.

When Dew comes over with the capped needle, Aether gives him a look and asks him if he wants Aeth to inject Papa. Dew shakes his head silently and pulls up Copia's sweatshirt.

Him laying down isn't the best position to inject in, the skin on his tummy is pulled quite taught, but Copia would flop over if he tried to sit up right now. Dew uncaps the needle and pinches a roll of fat, trying to go somewhere that doesn't have too many track marks, and injects in that area.

Copia hisses and Dew mutters a quiet "That's what you get for not carb counting properly..."

Once the insulin has been infused, Swiss holds out the sharps bin for Dew, and then they all sit and wait for Copia's blood sugars to come down. It usually takes between fifteen to twenty minutes, and the pack don't leave him alone during that time. Just in case they haven't dosed the insulin correctly.

During the waiting period, the ghouls keep themselves entertained. They play a card game, scroll on their phones, chat quietly (Copia's hypers and hypos always make him sensitive to sound). As his sugars slowly drop, checked every ten minutes by Aether, the ghouls slowly shuffle closer to Copia, his scent returning to normal.

By the time he's back down at a normal sugar level, Rain's been invited back into the room, and the ghouls have climbed onto the sofa for a cuddle with Copia,

Dew grumbles to Copia (from where he's curled up on his chest) to never let himself get that high again. He was worried about him.

Copia nods, and agrees that carbonara is off the menu. For now.

First Art Attempt!

"He said everything is fuzzy from then. Most things healed over time, but not everything..."

Here's Aaron, having a dexcom on. I made a post a while ago talking about how Aaron should be diabetic considering the events of Season 4, so I wanted to draw it!

I learned alot making this- I found out the stabalization feature on Procreate WAY too late but I'm exicted to do more drawings! I plan on working on some Chapter Covers for my fic next

[ethersierra]

WAIT wait wait I support this but wait this is so good for my personal diabetic Taako agenda

Insulin is a hormone 👁️👁️

Also actually I want diabetic lucretia even more but I can do retconning whenever I please

taako provides literally everyone on the ship their fucking hormones. it is the burden of being the local transmutation wizard. he never gets to use his transmuter's stone for anything else.

once he goes back to providing magnus his testosterone, he very often and very proudly proclaims to anyone who will listen that magnus is on steroids (and that there's a benevolent mastermind behind the delicate balance of mega muscles and puppy-dog temperament and his name is taa-aa-aa-aako, you are fucking welcome)

[popspoo]
