I'm very sad to report the passing of one of our highly regarded members, Fergus Crawford aka @CollieBoy.

His wife Janice has posted about his passing at the Diabetes UK forum:
https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/threads/farewell-from-fergus-c.64870/

He was such an inspiration - especially on the subject of Type 2 dietary control. His knowledge and humour will be sadly missed.

I always loved reading about his collies and the trips in his lovingly restored motorhome.

Condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Fergus.

Very sad. It doesn't quite hit home how serious this all is until you get news like this. Hold onto your friends we are so lightly here.
