Diabetes Support Advent Calendar

[Northerner]

I thought I would start our own Advent calendar, with a picture and a treat behind every 'door'. 🙂 I'm stealing stuff from the link that Richard posted earlier about the diabetes timeline on dLife!

Day 1:

Hesy Ra, first mention of diabetes 1552 BCE:

Today's treat, Sherbet Fountain!

That liquorice had better have a hole down its middle!

 

[gail2]

I love it already sherbert foutain yum yum

 

[Andy HB]

Also, it looks like Hesy Ra has a pile of sherbert fountains on that table! 🙂

(either that or certain 'physical aids' that can't be mentioned prior to the watershed)

 

[Robster65]

Hesy Ra has an iPod 😱

I've just blown sherbert all over my face 🙄

Lol, Hmm see what you mean!

Apparently, the hieroglyphs translate as 'A Mars a day helps you work rest and play'

Hi Alan

I wish, I did have a small taste of it whilst working in Scotland a few weeks ago though.

A few months back I bought my DSN a box of chocolates for all of her help. Just as I was about to leave I asked if she was going to open them so I could have one.

I dropped a bit of a clanger when I said "mmmmm these ones are my favourite"

Oops 😱)
