A superhero who's diabetic?
With great power comes great responsibility, and Insulet, accordingly, is using its influence in the diabetes management space to improve the representation of people living with diabetes.Well unfortunately, I think they chose the wrong company to do business with, and besides, the way they make it look like only superhero style characters get noticed has long become laughable. It's entirely possible to market a comic like this, science-fiction or otherwise, without building on the superhero theme that's become way overused. Does Insulet honestly believe Marvel today still has the recognition or respect needed to convince anybody it's worth it to read a Marvel-produced comic after how woke they became, and have no true respect for the legacies of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby? Also, the following is weird, IMO:
The insulin pump maker announced Wednesday that it has collaborated with comic book publishing giant Marvel to develop a comic about a superhero who has Type 1 diabetes.
In “Dyasonic: Sound of Strength,” protagonist Omnya struggles to manage her diabetes until she begins using Insulet’s Omnipod 5 insulin pump. The confidence boost she gets from using the technology helps her embrace her other strengths, including the science skills she uses to create a pair of gloves that can channel sonic frequencies—thus turning her into the superhero now known as Dyasonic.
The comic was written by Paul Allor, who has previously penned additions to the “Avengers,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “Power Rangers” comic book collections, among many others. Allor used their own experience living with diabetes to inform Omnya/Dyasonic’s story.
The main goal of the comic, per Insulet, is to break down stigmas and biases and help people with diabetes feel seen and understood.
In the announcement, the company cited survey data showing that while the vast majority of people with Type 1 diabetes think it’s important to see people with diabetes accurately portrayed in culture, barely half could remember seeing any such representation in the previous year. About a third of those surveyed said they were likely to hide their diabetes from others, citing shame, fear of judgment and a desire to avoid explaining the condition.Why should being diabetic be a source of shame? Plenty of people have illnesses of some sort, and it's nothing new. If one believes such a medical issue is worth writing about in fiction stories, it's certainly worth it, but again, it's difficult to comprehend why it has to be in Marvel superhero format, when it's entirely possible to write a sci-fi tale focused on medical topics without resorting to what's now a misused cliche. When will they ever consider?
Also, since we're on the subject, notice how, when talking about writer Allor, they say "their" instead of "his"? Well, as the following posts on X indicate, that's no accident, and they also reveal his leftist politics in motion:

So I guess here, he's implying he believes Trump's wrong to enforce law and order when there's savages rioting and looting in Los Angeles, and even burning vehicles? And as Allor indicates, he's a LGBT practitioner, who now wants to identify as "non-binary". Sad. Also notice how, unsurprisingly, he even attacks at least a few conservative-leaning figures, in a very petty post. Here's a few more:Absolute god damn nut jobs. https://t.co/qYrKMIXXqA

I guess that means he doesn't like Roy Thomas' early 70s Avengers story, the Kree-Skrull War, which also featured allusions to McCarthyism, huh?"Leftist McCarthyism." 😆 https://t.co/ElFxPmXUTQ

Ahem. What Moran did was crude and went against objective standards in journalism. That vulgarity is being potentially normalized in society is very sad, and one of the poorest modern examples. And then, here's what Allor says about Alex Padilla interrupting Kristi Noem's press conference:Fired for looking out the window and telling the public it's raining. https://t.co/hYILy0pRKH

So it's okay for somebody to disrupt somebody else's press conference, and even act violent and obnoxious? It goes without saying history is replete with leftists interrupting press conferences and college forums, and this is just simply unacceptable. The actor Jon Cryer, who appeared on the CW network's Supergirl series (which degenerated into leftist political propaganda pretty quickly back in the day), also obscured the seriousness of Padilla's behavior, and called the USA an "authoritarian" state. Such a petty person indeed.Write a very strong letter with eight very strong questions!

Shit, man, maybe even make it NINE! https://t.co/eOx2B7dq6I
All that aside, is Allor suited to script a story about diabetes if that's how he's going to conduct his business? Hardly. But still no surprise Marvel and other such publishers are willing to employ leftists like him.
