A Westbury man has been honoured for living a full, active life while having type 1 diabetes for over 50 years.
Chris Friend, 65, who has had the condition for 55 years, was presented with the Nabarro Medal at the Royal United Hospital in Bath. The award is given by Diabetes UK to people who have lived with diabetes for 50 years.
The medal – almost 500 were awarded last year, more than double than in 2004 – is named after Alan Nabarro, who made a significant impact on the lives of people with diabetes.
