Former nurse from Weymouth backs diabetes book

[Northerner]

A RETIRED nurse with decades of hands on experience with diabetes has given her support to a book of top tips for those living with the condition.

Shona Freeborn, from Weymouth, diagnosed her husband Tim with type one diabetes in 1980.

Since then, the retired nurse has immersed herself in a number of diabetes charities and organisations.

Now the 60 year-old has joined a host of celebrity names giving tips to diabetics and their loved ones called 100 things I wish I’d known about diabetes.

She said: “When I diagnosed Tim I had lots of professional experience but we had to make changes to everyday life.

Yay! 'Host of celebrity names!' First time I've been mentioned in that context!

First time I've been a celebrity too!!

I seem to remember @Flower has got a tip in the book as well, but she's so famous she had to post incognito.

 

[Flower]

Yay! Me too, me too 😎 Not only a published author but soon to be appearing on the small screen!

Yes, I went undercover 😉

First time I've been a celebrity too!!

So which is your tip?

You're a film star as well as an author, Flower? When's the red carpet being delivered?

 

[Flower]

I don't want to get too ahead of myself, I'll keep my front doormat for now and see how things go! 😉

 

[Northerner]

I expect to see you all on Celebrity Big Brother in the next couple of seasons... 😱 😉

Mine was the one about stopping after a hypo in exams. They obviously thought that this was better coming from a student rather than a teacher. I agree.
