Marc Cronin, a 32 -year -old British young man who suffers from type 2 diabetes and suffered the partial amputation of his left leg, decided to face his illness with humor and optimism, and manufactured an impromptu prostheses with pieces of lego while waiting for the permanent orthopedic substitute.

After spending ten years with the disease without it being diagnosed, some clinical complications led Cronin to lose part of its lower limb.But far from discouraging, he decided to create a prosthesis made of Lego pieces and uploaded a photo on his Reddit account.

The image went viral and, when questioned by various users, the Oldbury resident, West Midlands, said that his intention is to warn the greatest number of people about the possible consequences and the risks that diabetes can bring with them without detectionEarly.

In 2013, Christina Stephens, a clinical researcher did the same with the famous colored bricks after losing part of her left leg while repairing her car and a part of the car fell on her foot.

@Regina like that is, and improving detection should not cost much either, to facilitate access to a simple glucose test it would be a great step ... I sometimes use some strip for a friend or family.
