A celebration of Health Care Advances

On Saturday 7 October, an event was held at St Andrew’s to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Rev Andrew being diagnosed with diabetes. A service of thanksgiving for medical advances made within that time frame was led by Rev Sarah J. Hymns were sung, prayers were said and Andrew spoke of his experiences over the past 50 years.

A feature of the service was a PowerPoint presentation, prepared by Beth, which graphically traced the development of understanding and treatment of diabetes, from 100 years ago to the present time. The journey took us from ‘primitive’ to ‘sophisticated’ and ‘technological’. We really must be grateful for the wonderful advances made within that period. Thank you, Beth, for teaching us about it.

And of course we were reminded that during these 50 years, Andrew had also suffered kidney failure, which required regular dialysis until he received an organ transplant. Another wonder of modern medicine!

A representative of Diabetes UK attended, and he presented Andrew with a medal, to commemorate his achievement of living for 50 years with diabetes. The day was rounded off with a faith tea and good fellowship.
