Voice 3: "In 1986 my sister, Vivian, developed the condition 'diabetes²'. She began injecting insulin to control her blood sugar level. But then, she stopped reacting to the insulin. The doctors and family were unsure why this happened. Her health continued to worsen. She developed more health problems. Doctors gave her antibiotic³ drugs. But they did not cure her. She died in January 1988. We learned that she died from the use of fake insulin. We were all terribly shocked and troubled. The pain of her loss will remain with me all my life. She was the best in our family."
