Sue Marshall
Sue Marshall is the founder and editor of Desang Diabetes Magazine. She started Desang in 2004 to sell a range of kitbags to enable people with diabetes to carry around life-critical items all times – something she knows all about having had Type 1 Diabetes for nearly 50 years. Writing about diabetes kit that fits into the kitbags lead to a newsletter that then evolved into a free online magazine. With more than 21,000 readers, it is a great resource for people with diabetes. It covers all aspects of living with diabetes incorporating news, features, interviews, kit listings and food and diet information. She is also the author of a book, Need To Know Diabetes – The Essential Guide. Sue believes that education and good kit are key to gaining and maintaining good blood glucose control, which can avert costly complications, improve quality of life, and save the NHS money.

My work is mainly in the field of liver health, patient support, and self-management. Relatively new to the journalistic arena but enjoying these initiatory steps into a new, for me, world.
Caesar Sinclair
I graduated with BSc in Biomedical Science and BSc in Medical Biotechnology from Ireland before moving to the UK and pursued an MSc in Biomedicine in 2016. After that, I worked on medical research for two years and delved into Global Health, where I specialized in tackling global health burden through policy, law, education, and biomedical interventions. I worked in four research projects including:
- Anticancer Properties of Irish mushroom extracts
- Using bacterial Two-component system genetic engineering to create novel antibiotics
- Deciphering Sickle Cell Anaemia in physiological and biochemical level
- How media has a massive influence on health behavior, looking at the anti-vaccination movement as a case study (systematic review)

I’m currently working as a A&E doctor in St Thomas’ Hospital in London. From 2010 to 2016 I cycled the length of six continents visiting remote medical clinics and projects en route – from orthopaedic wards in Afghanistan and TB sanitoriums in Georgia, to mental health rehab in Mumbai and floating clinics on the Tonle Sap in Cambodia. My first book, Signs of Life (Profile) will be pub. in August – part travelogue, part memoir, part exploration of the social drivers of disease. Interested in the historical background to health inequity and marginalisation. I have written widely on travel, and on health for the Guardian and the Telegraph among others.
