Speaking about the award and her career, Professor Amiel praised the diabetes community:
“This honour has come as a complete surprise to me – of course I am delighted. So much of what I have been able to achieve has been in collaboration with amazing colleagues and this award honours them too. One of the great joys of an academic career lies in the truly extraordinary people you meet.
“But to receive the honour for services to people with diabetes is at once heartwarming and humbling. They are the true heroes in the diabetes story and if I have been able to make things a little better for some of them, that is an honour indeed.”
