Yeah it's often mentioned that HG Wells was the man behind the DUK charity in its early days, a great story and makes you thankful for how far we have come.
Great link, and I'll have to read more about Dr Lawrence. 'Dwindling away' in 1923 and then after insulin becoming available he lived another 45 years til age 76 on fixed insulin and a 70% fat diet, pretty impressive and a fellow Scot.
