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.
