A vivacious, talented graphic designer nicknamed “the fun machine,” died suddenly aged just 34 as a result of the diabetes she had suffered from since a teenager.
An inquest into Annika Mary Lyons’ death heard she did not let the chronic condition get in the way of what she wanted to do, remaining hard-working, energetic, and enjoying cycling.
But her brother Julian Lyons, who had moved from Dublin to Hackney in 2006, prompting his sister to follow, told Poplar Coroner’s Court that her diabetes had been unstable for some time.
“We didn’t really pick up on it as quick as we would have liked, she was unable to detect when her blood sugars were low, whereas initially there were quite obvious tell tale signs,” he said.
