I'm honest enough to admit that my first reaction on seeing this prompt was to wince. I could imagine so many ways in which it could be handled badly, so I jumped on the prompt as fast as I could. I've been diabetic since I was a toddler, and I've plundered my own life shamelessly for incidents for this. It does underlie everything else you do, of course, but it doesn't control your life, and as I went along I was more and more determined to tell a fun story where the protagonist just happens to be diabetic, because we don't really ever get that.
*chuckles* They're linguists because I stole the office layout from the silliest temp job I ever had, which happened to be at language exam board. I did fall in love with the idea of French teacher!Leon, though, so I may have to recycle that at some point.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It kept me smiling while I was writing it.
