Talk:531: Contingency Plan
Latest comment: 1 September by Kazvorpal
I don't think the idea is that the parents would kill the child if something went wrong (that would not be responsible parenting.) I think the idea is that the child would not be able to run away from home and there would be no incentive for someone to kidnap the child, since it could not live without insulin from the parents. โ213.203.138.251 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

From what I can find, this comic is confusing type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Giving your child lots of sugar would give them type 2 diabetes, but insulin is only required to treat type 1 diabetes. 199.27.130.192 22:46, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
- Severe cases of type 2 diabetes can also be treated with insulin, but whats more important: There is no direct connection between sugar intake and developing type 2. It would be more "efficient" to feed the child with fat-products. 162.158.90.212 09:17, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
- By fat-products, I am assuming you mean high-cholesterol or high-trans products. These have not been shown to be as effective than high GI carbohydrates. Other than carbohydrates, sodium has been linked to insulin resistance as well. flewk (talk) 02:50, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- I think their (errant) premise is that increasing her body fat would give her diabetes. Which is, like the sugar-causes-diabetes trope, mistaken. So is the premise that eating fat makes people fat. โ Kazvorpal (talk) 15:51, 1 September 2026 (UTC)
