On approach I could hear screaming and yelling, when I got closer I could see it was the Apple staff inside the store, for a moment I thought I was in America! I made my way to the back, and stood in the queue for about 30 minutes while I consumed free Starbucks & finger food from Apple themselves. The picture below (taken from my iPhone) was when we were about half way through the queue.

They knew this was unusual so I was taken to the doctors who tested my blood glucose and saw that it was very high. Later that day I was admitted to hospital and stayed there for a week whilst lots of different test were completed and I learnt about my condition. I was told that my antibodies had malfunctioned and attacked my pancreatic cells instead of the cold virus.
