    Any diabetic couples?

    I was just thinking earlier about how people need to have the same interests (well, kind of) to get along and hit it off. Me and my gf like horror movies for example. I was wondering if anyone has ever met someone and ended up with them, where they were both diabetic? Because I'm guessing we...
