Medals

Rewarding people living with diabetes

In recognition of the courage and perseverance of living with diabetes for over 50, 60 and 70 years, Diabetes UK Supporter Services are proud to present a selection of medals under the titles of our founding fathers:

  • The Alan Nabarro Medal for 50 years of living with diabetes
  • The Robert Lawrence Medal for 60 years of living with diabetes
  • The John Macleod Medal for 70 years of living with diabetes

How can I receive a medal?

To obtain one of these medals, we require a letter of confirmation from the patients GP or any healthcare professional to confirm their diabetes status. They will need to have the following information on the letter in order for us to send the correct medal:

  • Recipient's name, address and date of birth
  • Year of diabetes diagnosis
  • Information regarding who the medal should be posted to

The medal request letter should then be forwarded to Diabetes UK marked for the attention of  the Supporter Services Team:
