Diabetes, post-apocalyptic fiction 

Watching or reading post-apocalyptic fiction is always especially weird for me because I know in those universes, with my chronic illness, I wouldn't survive very long. And if I did I would be a burden to those around me.

Sometimes these shows/books/comics feature a diabetic kid as part of a plot point or tragic backstory for another character, but they rarely stay around long.
