Diabetes mellitus

This models Diabetes mellitus which should not be confused with Diabetes insipidus
Cost: -2, -6, -15 points
*Type I [-15]: Restricted Diet (Common: Insulin with meals; Partial Substitution, -30%) [-14]; Repeated substution can cause reduced HT [-1].
*Type II [-6]: Restricted Diet (Very Common: Low-carbohydrate, low-fat foods; Substitution, -50%) [-5]; Repeated substution can cause reduced HT [-1].
*Type II (Mild) [-2]: As long as you take a pill with your meal, you can eat what you want, within reason. Diabetes (Type II; Mitigator, Daily Drug, -60%) [-2].
Either type of diabetic may also require "diabetic medication", which is not insulin, but pills which help the body process sugars. For game purposes, this does not affect the value of the disadvantages above; the need to take an inexpensive pill with one's meal is overshadowed by the need to carry and use a diabetic kit (glucometer, syringes, and insulin) or to severely restrict one's diet.
