Diabetic Whumpee - Tumblr Posts
Being diabetic this inspires less ‘get whumpee addicted’ thoughts and more ‘if you want your medicine then you’d better do as I say’ / ‘oh did I give you too much? That’s so sad… beg me for sugar.’
Of course whumper doesn’t give whumpee a glass of sugar water or a mint or apple juice to save them from hypoglycemia, they’ll give one of those orange pills that the doctors give us diabetics that none of us like because they’re disgusting and vomit-inducing.
whumpee with a device embedded in their body that has the ability to produce a certain drug. it releases a dose of it whenever whumper presses a button on the remote connected to it, then fills right back up again. whumpee has zero control over it. whenever they act out, they get hit with a dose of sedatives. they grow to fear the click of the button itself...
and then. and then. what if it malfunctions. what if it starts leaking and releasing drugs Constantly. what if it has to be taken out and reinserted. what if.. what if..
I’ll come back to this in the morning, but I’m diabetic and oh god the whump potential
I’m coming back like I said I would for
Diabetes whump
(Just a quick super simplified rundown of what diabetes is: you have an organ called a pancreas which among other things creates a hormone called insulin. Insulin + sugar/carbs = energy. Pancreas not working means diabetes. Type one is genetic or may have no particular cause. Type two is caused by overexerting the pancreas with too much sugar and not enough exercise. Type three is gestational, or pregnancy diabetes.
Low blood sugar means not enough sugar or too much insulin. High means not enough insulin or too much sugar).
OKAY LET’S GO
Waking up at odd hours of the night with severe highs and lows
Running out of insulin in the middle of the day and throwing up due to the high when you get home
Whumpee who’s scared of needles, but still has to get shots multiple times a day
Insulin pump or CGM (continuous glucose monitor) getting torn off and bleeding
Whumpee scared of blood taking manual finger tests
The random headaches
Also just the regular symptoms, not even thinking about treating it
Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) feels like:
Headaches
Lethargy
Lack of apetite
Fast heart rate
Difficulty breathing
Constant extreme thirst
Frequent urination because you’re drinking so much
Changes in taste buds (for me water starts to taste like plastic, which sucks when you’re so thirsty
Sudden feeling of being cold
Some people get irritable
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can feel like:
Shakiness and difficulty walking
Difficulty thinking/ brain fog
Hunger
Extreme sweating and feeling hot
Blackouts in memory
In extreme cases, severe aggression
Severe cases of either can cause seizures, passing out, and comas.
SO LET’S WHUMP A DIABETIC WHUMPEE
Overdose them with insulin and watch them shake, sweaty and confused (also works on non-diabetics)
Refrain from giving them insulin and wait for them to start throwing up before telling them to beg
Caretakers doing all of whumpee’s shots for them
Doctor whumper who keeps telling whumper it’s the flu or a stomach bug
Diabetic caretaker and whumpee who was tortured with needles and can’t be around caretaker when they take their shots
Whumpee who gets tangled in their insulin pump’s tubes or IV tubes
WHUMPER WHO CONTROLS WHUMPEE’S PUMP AND FORCIBLY WAKES THEM WIRH SEVERE BLOOD SUGAR EVENTS
Everyone has my full permission to use diabetes as a whump idea, I want to see y’all’s ideas too on this and any chronic illnesses you guys might have!
I’ll come back to this in the morning, but I’m diabetic and oh god the whump potential
