#only naturally deceased halla organs were used here guys

A whole lot of thoughts and sketches on Isha’s T1D supplies and how he manages his diabetes day to day 💉🩸

#dragon age #lavellan #disability in thedas #ishavun lavellan #felt very big brained coming up with some of this with diirthare-ma #now i just feel like theres still so much info missing! #really wishing we had a more comprehensive idea of the mechanics of magical healing in thedas #but i did my best to come up with something that i think looks ok and is appropriate for isha as a dalish elf #just uuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh pretend like healing magic keeps the catheter sterile and that mages can extract insulin from halla without.... #grinding up their pancreases #only naturally deceased halla organs were used here guys #i think theres historical precedent to justify the use of animal organs for other purposes so #this is much less ghoulish in universe than it looks i promise #im going to eventually post a big write up on my thoughts about diabetes in thedas but thats going to come later #im actually not an expert in medieval history/ medical history/ diabetes as whole so it takes a lot of reading academic papers #to come up with something im completely happy with #doesn't matter for now though #all you need to know is isha squeezes the pump and it sucks up in the insulin...the end #and for the normies out there as much as i tried to do this idea justice please know most of this is so nonsensical #theres no glucose testing powder back in the day we didnt have phones and 1touches we pissed on the ground #and watched to see if ants gathered like god intended #also this is obvious but this basically has no relation to real world modern insulin pumps #that being said pump users DONT come for me if i did something incredibly dumb here #my insurance threatens to beat me to death whenever i even ask my endo about getting one #i did tons of reading about them just to not incorporate any of that info because how tf does that translate to pseudo middle ages #i might end up changing a lot of this because it turns out im a dumb person #and did a lot of things like initially giving isha liquid t then realizing its injected intramuscularly #THEN finding out it can be injected subcutaneously but my doc has just never informed me of that #but i'd already drawn his chia seed testosterone cream and really like it :') #my art
