ART: When artist Tennille Will was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, she was not far from falling into the coma that would have led to her death. She credits the Diabetes Education Centre at Toronto Western Hospital with saving her life—she now knows how to control her diet and treat herself with insulin injections. Will has been raising money on behalf of the Centre through her series of Sugar Free Paintings, on exhibit this month at Shopgirls (1342 Queen Street West). She has also written a book, Sugar Free Paintings: Poems & Prescriptions. The book launches tonight, after a benefit dinner, in honour of National Diabetes Awareness Month. The Harbord Room (89 Harbord Street), 9 p.m., $10.
