Diabetes UK is very sad to announce that Sheila Thorn, whose recent media work has helped raise awareness of diabetes, passed away earlier this week at the age of 81.
Sheila?s inspirational story touched many people with diabetes, and was very well received on Facebook. Sheila (pictured right) saw developments in insulin through the ages, having originally been treated by Dr Frederick Banting, one of the discoverers of insulin.

Very sad - what a great lady!
