How I Met My Lifelong Partner

I'm a type 1 diabetic and, much like relationships, diabetes found me when I least expected it. And then, very much unlike relationships, I couldn't get rid of the bugger when I didn't want it anymore. I was diagnosed in January 2016, just before I turned 22. There I was, having a wonderful time in my final year of university, when diabetes crept up on me. You little sausage, diabetes. For anyone who didn't go to uni, by the way, the three years there are a lot like the first three Spider-Man films: the first one starts out strong, the second one is passable, and then the third one makes absolutely no sense. I am talking about that hilariously awkward dance scene that Peter Parker does in Spider-Man 3...Literally, what was the relevance of that other than to make the audience hate Tobey Maguire?
