D&D General Diabetes in dnd

"Sigh... hand me my exorcism kit. Rognar has demons in his bowels again."

Then we need an archetype that's all about (im)balancing the humours, and maybe a Discworld-style retrophrenologist.

"Take this. A far superior relic to that old jelly you were chained too. Try it on for size. And, erm, it was... very nice to have met you...Terribly sorry, my friend... Ta." -- Volo, shortly before fleeing camp after performing eye surgery on you, Baldur's Gate 3

Gosh, I would hope the technological landscape that enables genetically modified humans to photosynthesize would also enable said humans to avoid hyperglysemic shock from all of the sugars produced. Maybe just stick your arm out in the sunlight every ten minutes. Or, maybe not every skin cell is photosynthetic, maybe just 1 in every 100,000.
Iirc the scene involved a lot of explaining to the cryopod guy who couldn't do it to justify to viewers why the others needed to strip for maximum exposure to the stars and that opened the door to actually mathing it. The photosynthesizing thing isn't their primary energy source, just some kind of energy thing
 

Having Type 2 myself, I once wrote a fantasy story about a character from our world who ended up in a D&D-a-like setting. They were really worried about not having insulin, but then were handed a magic item that protected them from disease and were over the moon, while their new adventurer friends were like "yeah, it was just sitting in our handy haversack for a few months, you're welcome to it".

Needless to say, the protagonist thought his new friends had very skewed priorities.
